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.
