Meanings

1

noun, noun which may take the genitive case particle 'no'

some; any; a little; of some kind

Used especially in forms such as 何ぶんか or 何ぶんかの to mean some amount, some degree, or a little. This use is somewhat stiff compared with words like 多少.

2

adverb

please; kindly

A polite request word used in set phrases such as 何分よろしくお願いいたします. It feels formal and somewhat old-fashioned; 何卒 is often a stronger or more standard formal equivalent.

3

adverb

anyway; at any rate; after all

Often introduces an explanatory reason or excuse, close to 'after all' or 'given that ...'. Common in polite or written explanations, especially before clauses ending in ので.
