anyway
Expresses that a fact or circumstance applies independently of other conditions; anyway, in any case.
Du brauchst mir den Weg nicht zu erklären, ich muss ohnehin in diese Richtung.
You don’t need to explain the way to me; I have to go in that direction anyway.
The word is made up of 'ohne' (without) and 'hin' (there/toward). It expresses that something is the case “even without this circumstance” or “anyway,” which makes the logic of the word understandable.
Wir können den Bus nehmen, aber ich laufe ohnehin gerne zu Fuß.
We can take the bus, but I like walking anyway.
'Ohnehin' (anyway) can stand in different places in the sentence. If it is in position 1, the verb follows directly after it. Within the sentence, it usually stands after the conjugated verb and the subject.
Ohnehin hat der Laden schon geschlossen.
Anyway, the shop has already closed.
'Ohnehin' (anyway) is often used to strengthen an argument or counter an objection. It signals that a stated fact already exists and does not change the current situation.
Du musst dich nicht beeilen, wir kommen ohnehin zu spät.
You don’t need to hurry; we’re going to be late anyway.
anyway / at least
Jedenfalls often limits a statement to the part that is certainly true despite some uncertainty. Ohnehin shows that something is already settled independently of that. When only certain information is being given, jedenfalls is appropriate; when something is already the case, ohnehin is more suitable.
Du brauchst mich nicht mehr zu überzeugen, denn ich komme ohnehin zur Feier.
You don't need to convince me anymore, because I'm coming to the celebration anyway.
Ob die anderen kommen, weiß ich nicht, aber ich komme jedenfalls zur Feier.
I don't know whether the others are coming, but I'm coming to the celebration anyway.
