it doesn't matter in Esperanto

“It doesn’t matter” in Esperanto is Tio ne gravas (TEE-oh neh GRAH-vahs), from gravi “to matter, to be important”. The short Ne gravas is just as common, and ReVo has the same wording in sed tio ne gravas! “but that doesn’t matter!”. For “I don’t care”, use egali: Al mi egalas.

Other ways to say it

• Ne gravas.It doesn’t matter. / Never mind.
• Ĝi ne gravas!It doesn’t matter!
• Tio ne gravas nun.That doesn’t matter now.
• Al mi egalas.I don’t care. (it’s all the same to me)
