Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Maybe Β« Je n'ai pas assez envie de lui demander comment il va Β» ? I'm assuming that 'care' here means 'inclined/want' like, 'I wasn't inclined enough to ask…'

more like "I didn't give enough of a shit to ask him how he was doing"

Maybe, Β« Je ne me suis pas assez prΓ©occupΓ© de lui demander comment il allait (I didn't worry enough / I wasn't concerned enough to ask him how he was going) Β» ?

#

using Β« se moquer Β» like Β« Je me suis assez moquΓ© de lui demander … (I didn't care enough to ask him…) Β» might be too literal

hmm...

#

anything else that's vulgar?

Β« Je me suis pas assez foutu de lui demander comment il allait Β»

#

is that right ?

steel ermine
#

no pas

#

Β« se foutre de Β» already carries a negation with it

old glade
#

oh righttt

#

i forgot

steel ermine
#

it also happens with Β« se foutre / se moquer Β» which is why I didn't put the negative there

old glade
#

i see

#

Β« Je me suis assez foutu de lui demander comment il allait Β»

might work, gives you something like ||I didn't give enough of a fuck to ask him how he was doing||

#

more naturally, you can have;

je m'en fichais (assez) pour lui demander comment il allait.
je m'en foutais (complet) pour lui demander comment il allait.

for me s'en ficher is not polite, but it is not vulgaire as such, it just means you weren't interesting in asking how he was doing.
on the other hand, s'en foutre is very vulgar. it implies you literally could not give a fuck one way or the other to ask him how he is doing.

s'en ficher -- ne pas attacher d’importance
s'en foutre -- se dΓ©sintΓ©resser ou Γͺtre totalement indiffΓ©rent de quelqu'un ou de quelque chose
