"Do you mind?"

What does this statement mean to you? "mind"is a multiple meaning word, and can refer to the brain, or thought processes in your head, behavior and obedience, or intelligence

I suggest wordreference.com because it gives complete examples of this word. There are 8 definitions of meaning for this word.

The phrase "do you mind?" has been shortened, and can be clarified with a simple prepositional phrase...but English speakers often do not clarify it with words, but a look, or body language

Do you mind? turning down the radio. moving over/creating space for me to sit here. if I have one of your french fries

What do you think these mean?

mind over matter

meeting of the minds

It doesn't come to mind

It has been in the back of my mind

I usually say/write: "... Hope you don't mind" like in: "I'll be 10 min late. Hope you don't mind" - hoping that the person won't oppose, disapprove, be mad with me and so on..
