Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Anyway"

A: "Anyway" is used to confirm or support an idea, or to show that a conversation is coming to an end. It's similar in some usage to "in any case." In Czech, it would be "stejně."

A: "de todas formas/de todos modos es/está muy lindo(a)"
"de todas maneras/de cualquier manera es/esta muy bonito(a)"

A: "de qualquer forma"

A: @SpanishLena: Thank you Lena

A: Anywayって「とにかく」だと思います。

A: The word "anyway" is often used to further confirm a statement. For example, in the sentence:
"I'm still going to the movies, anyway."

You are saying that your plan of going to the movies will not be changed, no matter the situation.

"Anyway" can also be used to continue a story that was interrupted, for example in the conversation:

Him: "I went to the library yesterday, and saw the strangest thing-"

Her: "Oh no! I forgot my papers for the meeting today!"

Him: "Oh no! That's terrible! Anyway, back to my story about the library yesterday.."

(Please note that the man is sounding rude for ignoring her concern about her papers.)

Remember to not confuse "anyway" with "any way", which means to do something through any method or manner.

A: He doesnt like her attitude, anyway.

Anyway, what were we talking about again?

No need to punish the child, when their parents will deal with them anyways.

Left or right, you'll still reach your destination, any-which-way.

A: I knew mum would say no but I asked her anyway.
I haveto tutor my cousin but anyways what are you doing in the holidays?

A: Anyways indicates the end of a discussion. (Lots of discussion about a festival) + anyway, I had so much fun and you should go!

A: *anyway is used to change the topic of conversation*

A: Work is so boring today! I can't wait to get home.
B: I know. There's nothing to do.
A: Anyway, what're you doing this weekend?


*anyway can also be used in this manner. In this sentence, person B is really upset because he's bored at work*

A: Want to leave work early?
B: Yeah, what're we even doing here anyway?!

A: “Anyways” with the S is considered slang, and is a part of nonstandard, colloquial, or informal English. Furthermore, since “anyway” is an adverb and it is impossible for adverbs to be plural. In newspapers or in any example of formal writing, you will almost never see the word “anyways” used.

A: They mean the same thing. You use anyway in formal writing and anyways in informal writing.

Anyway, I think it is difficult to find a good restaurant in the area.

Anyways, I think it is difficult to find a good restaurant in the area.

A: Anyways is technically slang, so when speaking it doesn’t matter which one you use. When writing formally, I’d suggest using “anyway”.

A: Anyways is actually not correct, but people do use it in the US in informal settings.

A: Both mean the same thing but anyway is used more often

Example

"Well it doesn't matter anyway"

"Anyway maybe he decided not to come back"

"Well it doesn't matter anyhow"

"Anyhow maybe he decided not to come back"

A: by anyway

A: anyway.

A: ? You said it in your question?

A: 例①）
A: This trash can is in the way of people walking through. Put it in that room at the end of the hall.
→このゴミ箱は邪魔だ。突き当たりのあの部屋に入れとけ。

B: But we have it here for the kid in this room. He says he's feeling nauseous.
→でもここの部屋の子の為に置いてるんです。吐き気がするんですって。

A: Do it anyway!
→そんなことは気にせずやれ！
→「そんなことは」とにかく、やっとけ！

とりあえずやっとけ→*Just* do it!

ニュアンスが違います。
anywayだと、具体的な事を「さておきながら」やってほしい、という話です。


例②）
A: Here. I want to record you singing this song I wrote.
（俺が書いたこの新曲を歌っているところが撮りたい。はい。）
B: How can I sing a new song without making mistakes?
（どうしたらこんな新しい曲を失敗せずに歌えるの？）
A: Just do it. We can worry about how good you sound after we have one take.
（とにかくやってみて。そんな心配は一回撮れてからにしよう。）

ここは、「それでも」と言える対象となる「事実」がないので、anywayと言ったらおかしいです。
