哪
怕

About

The word "哪怕" is formed by combining the character "哪", which in this context extends from its interrogative function to imply "any" or "no matter", with the character "怕", meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid of". This combination logically yields a concessive conjunction meaning "even if", where "怕" introduces a potentially adverse condition, and "哪" generalizes it, allowing the phrase to introduce a hypothetical scenario that does not change the main statement's validity.
