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.
nevertheless / still
'trotzdem' and 'sowieso' can both make a sentence stronger, but they do not mean the same thing. You use 'trotzdem' when there is a reason against something, but the action still happens. 'sowieso' means that something happens or applies in any case, regardless of any other circumstances. Learners confuse the words because both often come after an objection. The difference is: 'trotzdem' shows a contrast, while 'sowieso' shows independence or something taken for granted.
Ich nehme keinen Kaffee, weil ich sowieso gleich schlafen gehen will.
I'm not having coffee because I want to go to sleep soon anyway.
Es regnet stark, trotzdem geht Omar zu Fuß zum Bahnhof.
