Questions & Answers about De todas maneras, voy a llamarte.

The lesson mentions de todos modos and de todas formas, but here we see de todas maneras. Are they the same?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable. Manera, forma, and modo all translate to "way" or "manner." You can use de todas maneras, de todas formas, or de todos modos to say "anyway" or "in any case."
Why is it todas maneras but todos modos?
Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Manera and forma are feminine nouns, so they take the feminine plural todas (de todas maneras, de todas formas). Modo is masculine, so it takes the masculine plural todos (de todos modos).
Could I put the te somewhere else in the sentence?
Yes, you can also say De todas maneras, te voy a llamar. When you have a conjugated verb followed by an infinitive (an unconjugated verb like llamar), the object pronoun can either attach to the end of the infinitive (voy a llamarte) or go right before the conjugated verb (te voy a llamar). Both mean the exact same thing.
What does de todas maneras literally mean?
It translates literally to "of all ways" or "in all manners." In English, we usually say "anyway," "anyhow," or "in any case" to show that regardless of what was just said, the action will still happen.
