معنی
Used to express indifference or that something is not important to you.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Wurst' is a symbol of German identity. There are over 1,500 types of sausages in Germany, making it the most logical food to use in an idiom about variety and sameness. Austrians often use the word 'Wurscht' instead of 'Wurst'. The 'Wurschtigkeit' (the state of not caring) is sometimes seen as a typical Viennese character trait—a relaxed, slightly cynical indifference. In Bavaria, the phrase is often used while drinking beer in a {der|m} Biergarten. It fits the 'Gemütlichkeit' (coziness/relaxed nature) of the region. Younger Germans might use 'Ist mir latte' or 'Ist mir rille' as modern alternatives, but 'Es ist mir Wurst' remains a classic that everyone understands.
Shorten it!
In very casual settings, just say 'Mir Wurst!' It sounds very native.
Watch the tone
If you say it too loudly or with a frown, it can sound rude rather than just indifferent.
