irrespective of [something]
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners often forget to use 'of' and say *'irrespective age'* instead of 'irrespective of age'. Another common mistake is confusing 'irrespective' with 'respectively' or 'respective', which have completely different meanings related to order or to each item in a list.
Visawe
regardless (Very close in meaning; slightly less formal and often used alone, not only before 'of'.)
|
without regard to (A little more explicit and slightly more formal; often used in legal or official contexts.)
Vinyume
depending on (Shows that a result or decision changes when that factor changes, the opposite of ignoring it.)
