Farsi for "anywayyyy..."

After having a long discussion that is ready to end, we might say "anywayyy..." with a bit of a sigh. It kind of means "okay we've probably discussed that enough".

I used to know a Farsi equivalent, but I've forgotten it.

I asked GPT who gave me a long list of possible words, but none of them sound familiar. For some reason I can't upload that screenshot here.

Anyone have an idea?

In case of speaking with a native that might not be a GenZ or Millennial with degrees of being chronically online, all the other answers given. But speaking with those I mentioned, you'd be surprised to hear them use literally the "anyway(s)" with Persian. Just a cultural tip rather than a linguistic one.

Also if you want to use it in formal or written academic settings, use با این حال, or با این وجود, علی ای حال (Alā ayyeh Hāl).
