What is the equivalent of "I don't mind..." in French? (How to express indifference?)
Hi! What is the equivalent expression in French to express indifference? An expression which is roughly equal to the English "I don't mind".

I know "ça m'est égal" but this seems a little petulant/childish to me..I'd like to know the polite/diplomatic answer.

For example, if you wanted to respond to:

"veux-tu aller à la plage ou au ciné aujourd'hui?"

with something like: "I don't mind! Either is fine with me"

What would one say?

Thanks!

Answer

In that case, perhaps a 'Comme tu veux' might be the politest equivalent, if you want to avoid the 'shrugging' nature of "ça m'est égal".

Answer

We usually say "C'est comme tu veux" = its up to you
