Explanation

无论 (formal) or 不管 (colloquial) introduces a variable — a question word (谁/什么/怎么) or an 'A还是B' choice — and 都/也 says the result is unaffected. The condition clause must stay open-ended, never a fixed statement.

Examples

无论 多难，我 都 会坚持。
wúlùn duō nán, wǒ dōu huì jiānchí.
No matter how hard it is, I'll keep going.
不管 天气怎么样，我们 都 去。
bùguǎn tiānqì zěnmeyàng, wǒmen dōu qù.
No matter what the weather is like, we're going.

Note

Must be followed by 都/也, and the clause needs a question word or choice: ❌不管天气好，都去 ✅不管天气好不好，都去。
