Meaning and usage of: [〜か]　〜か　にもよりません


There seems to be a relatively rarely used grammatical pattern consisting of
either a single か clause, or a AかBか, or else Aかどうか, followed by にもよりません。

Based on the scanty examples of this that can be found online, it seems to
mean something like "irrespective of". Aかにもよりません seems to mean that it isn't a
problem if the question posed by A doesn't have an affirmative answer:
"regardless of whether A". Similarly, AかBかにもよりません seems to mean "regardless of
whether A or B".

But really, what is the meaning? Plus other considerations like usage
restrictions and whatnot.




It's just "AかBかによりません" except that も meaning "also/either" or "even" is added.
依る【よる】 is an intransitive verb that means "to rely/depend on". You can learn
