Definition
保管 has two senses: 'keep in safekeeping' (unique among siblings) and 'guarantee, be certain of'. In the guarantee sense, it's a colloquial verb for everyday promises — less formal than 保证 (bǎo zhèng), and much less formal than 确保 (què bǎo) or 担保 (dān bǎo). As an adverb it's similar to 一定 (yī dìng) but more emphatic.
