It's all the same to me: 无所谓
Subj. + 无所谓（+ 的是…） · Traditional: Subj. + 無所謂（+ 的是…）
无所谓 (wúsuǒwèi) means "it makes no difference to me": 去哪儿吃都行，我无所谓 "anywhere is fine, I really don't mind." It's the go-to phrase for genuine indifference — stronger and cooler than 都可以.
Grammatically it stands on its own and doesn't take an object. To name the thing you're indifferent about, front it as a topic: 这个问题对我来说无所谓 "as far as I'm concerned, this issue doesn't matter."
