Also spelled dun

whatever, wherever, no matter which

Says the choice does not matter. Paired with a question word it gives the whatever/wherever/whenever family: 뭐든 "anything at all", 어딜 가든 "wherever we go", 언제든 "any time", 어떤 길을 고르든 "whichever path you choose". Repeated across two options it means either one is fine: 짜장면을 먹든 파스타를 먹든 "whether you eat jjajangmyeon or pasta". It is the short form of 든지 and behaves the same way.
