No matter what - sin importar lo que tengo que hacer.

I'll find her no matter what.

La encontraré sin importar lo que tengo que hacer.

See what I mean?

Or can you think of a better "no matter what" than my "doesn't matter what I have to do" way of saying it?

Gracias

Heidita's response

pase lo que pase

and also the similar

haga lo que haga

is a set phrase which translates to

"No matter what happens / no matter what I do"

and I think this might be what you are after Jeezle.

All of those work, but what you have to keep in mind is that you can say the same thing in English in most, if not all cases, so to me "No matter what" translates to "No importando que" o "Sin importar que" and the rest of the phrase is complemented with the context.

Jeezle I'm liking this online Collins more and more. Look here ----> Matter especially under Item #6.

What do you think about "No importa que" as meaning "No mattrer what.??

I find it unlikely that No importa que could work but we'll wait for more answers. ;) - jeezzle, Dec 18, 2011

How about:

La encontraré, cueste lo que cueste.

Some sentences to see how it is used

Rather than a set phrase, it seems to be adapted to the situation.

La encontraré dondequiera que tenga que buscarla.

Jeezle is correct, "No importa que" is" No matter what"

So, La encontraré no importa que works just like that? Seems weird to me like that. - jeezzle, Dec 18, 2011
