Kako "couldn't care less" pomeni, da vas ne zanima? Ali "care less" sama po sebi ne pomeni, da vas ne zanima?
Odgovor maternega govorca

Couldn't care lessnič ne zanima ali pa mu ni mar za nič. To je tisto, kar to pomeni. Če rečete care less, vam je pravzaprav mar za nekaj. Primer: I couldn't care less about that stupid test. (Takšen test me ne zanima.) Primer: I couldn't care less about what he does in his free time. We aren't even friends. (Ni mi mar, kaj počne v prostem času, sploh nismo prijatelji.) Primer: Why are you telling me this? I couldn't care less. (Zakaj mi to govorite? Ne zanima me.) Ta dva stavka sta zelo zmedena tudi za domače govorce angleščine. Ta dva stavka sta zelo različna, vendar mislim, da pomenita isto. Včasih bodo angleški govorci rekli care less. Rekel bi, da mi sploh ni mar, ampak to je narobe. Samo zapomnite si ta mali trik: Couldn't care lessni mar, could care lessbriga. Hvala za odlično vprašanje!
