Translation

in any case, at any rate, anyway

Word origin

A home-made Esperanto compound: the correlative ĉiu ('every'), the noun okazo ('occasion, case') and the adverbial ending -e. Literally 'in every case', which is what the English in any case means once you look at it.

Origin
Esperanto compound
Root
ĉiu + okazo + -e

Examples

, .

In any case I will come tomorrow, even if the weather is bad.

, .

We do not know the time, but we will wait for you anyway.

.

In any case we have to decide today.

Take the word apart and it teaches its own grammar: + okaz- + -e, three pieces you already know, welded into one adverb. The related verb is , 'to happen'. You will also meet in the wild, built the same way on instead of okazo; both are understood, and is the commoner in print.
