anyway
Expresses that something is the case or happens in any event, in any case, or regardless of other circumstances. It is often used to reinforce a statement or to counter an objection.
Du brauchst dich nicht zu beeilen, der Zug hat sowieso Verspätung.
You don't need to hurry; the train is delayed anyway.
The word is composed of 'so' (so), 'wie' (how/as), and 'so' (so). This old form reinforces the meaning of 'in any case' or 'no matter how'.
Ob es regnet oder nicht, ich gehe sowieso spazieren.
Whether it rains or not, I'm going for a walk anyway.
'Sowieso' (anyway) usually stands in the middle field after the conjugated verb. However, it can also stand in position 1 to emphasize the statement. Then the verb follows directly in position 2.
Ich kann dir nicht helfen, ich habe sowieso keine Zeit.
I can't help you; I don't have time anyway.
'Sowieso' (anyway) is a very common word in everyday spoken language. It is used to reinforce a fact or to counter a possible objection in advance.
Du musst mir den Weg nicht erklären, ich finde ihn sowieso.
You don't have to explain the way to me; I'll find it anyway.
anyway / at least
Jedenfalls marks a statement or decision as certain, regardless of other unresolved points. Sowieso more strongly indicates that something is already settled or will happen for another reason. Jedenfalls is appropriate for a current assurance, while sowieso is more suitable when there is already an existing reason.
Du musst mich nicht extra einladen, denn ich komme sowieso zur Feier.
You don't need to invite me separately, 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.
