The German word "egal" means "irrelevant" - and it can replace full sentences.
Someone saying "Ach, egal" can mean:
- I don't care
- Forget what I just said
- Never mind
- Don't bother
- Whatever
- Oh, well then
- I don't want it anymore, just keep it
- Then not
- Suit yourself
- Your loss
- See if I care
- Fine, be that way!
- You do you
- Can we talk about something else?
You're confused now?
Ach, egal.
Just enjoy our language!
