归 (guī) — to return, to go back; to belong to, to be in the charge of; (between two identical verbs) despite, nevertheless
Definition
归 (guī) covers two main ideas: 'to return' (归国, 回国) and 'to belong to' (归你管 = in your charge). The repeated-verb structure 吵∼吵 means 'despite' — like 照旧 or 照样, the action continues anyway.
