无所谓

• 拼音: wú suǒ wèi
• 汉字拆解: 无 = without; 所 = 户 (household) + 斤 (axe), a place; 谓 = 讠(speech) + 胃 (stomach, phonetic), to say or call something

含义

It doesn't matter; I don't care; to be indifferent.

Expresses indifference or nonchalance — that something is of no consequence. Can convey genuine flexibility ('it's fine either way') or a dismissive attitude ('I couldn't care less'). Tone depends heavily on context. Extremely common in spoken Chinese.
