English adjectives for 'laissez faire'?
e.g. a laissez faire attitudeThanks James, Peachey!
@Peachey: Lackadaisical? Wow! I feel dyslexic - Is it like 'lack-a-day-isical'? And a whatever attitude sounds very funny. I don't know, should I have said, "non-stolen adjectives"?

I was about to say: 'laissez-faire' IS an adjective in English (stolen from the French of course...heh).
Adding to James' notes, you can also call it a "whatever" attitude, but the awesome super-long synonym is "lackadaisical".

relaxed, laid-back, almost not caring
For example:
John displayed a laissez-faire attitude towards his studies. (i.e. he didn't care too much and made little effort)

There are not really adjectives for this.
This is a saying that is from French.
It literally means " to be and let be" but is mainly used in business or in politics
to mean > allowing industry to be free from state intervention (or regulation).
It doesn't just mean "whatever" or not caring. It means caring enough to let things run naturally without intervention.
