Language / "Whatever" used as slang - Polish equivalent? [29]

Well, i think that "jak chcesz..." would be something quite close to "whatever". Definitely words like "cokolwiek" (literal translation of "whatever") aren't used in Polish. At least I have never heard anyone saying sth like that.

If you want to translate "jak chcesz..." it would be "as you want...", and it's used quite often.

Sorry for my english.

Of course it's important how you say sth, but if someone is just learning Polish, it's easier for him to have a certain expressions, that can be used in some situations. We don't give advice to those, who speak Polish fluently, but to those who, for example, are forced to live in Poland and want to feel like at home.

It would be easier to say these expressions to them, but we have no such possibility, so we have to use what we have.
