- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)
反倒 or 反轉 means Upside down
反而 means Instead or another way (depends on the situation)
- English (US) Near fluent
- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)
both of them have a similar meaning. but 反倒 is more likely to be used for the meaning that is completely opposite (A: I like rude girls. B: I "反倒" like polite girls). and for 反而, it doesn't need to be opposite (A: I like black. B: I "反而" like blue {there is no opposite relationship between black and blue})
but normally, we don't really care much about this tiny difference. use either one is fine
