How it's used

Focuses on a deliberate choice to disregard something, often implying a sense of selfishness or recklessness. It carries a stronger, more critical tone than simply using 唔理, which can be neutral or passive. Use this when describing someone who prioritizes their own agenda over social norms or safety.

Common phrases

reckless; disregarding the consequences
at all costs; regardless of everything

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 唔理, but 不顧 implies an active, often negative, choice to ignore something important, whereas 唔理 can simply mean not paying attention to something trivial.
