B1 Expression رسمی

どちらでも結構です

dochira demo kekkou desu

Either is fine

معنی

Indicating that one is flexible and has no strong preference.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Using 'Either is fine' is a way to show that you are not 'wagamama' (selfish). It prioritizes the group or the client. Hosts often offer choices to guests. A guest using this phrase is being 'enryo' (restrained) to make the host's job easier. In modern Japan, sometimes being 'too' flexible is seen as a burden. If someone asks your opinion, they might actually want you to choose. In Kyoto, 'Kekkou desu' is famously used to mean 'No thank you' very firmly but politely. Context is everything!

💡

The 'Smile' Factor

Because 'kekkou' can also mean 'no,' always deliver this phrase with a soft smile and a slight nod to ensure it's understood as 'yes, either is fine.'

⚠️

Don't be a 'Yes-Man'

If a decision is critical to your work, don't use this. It can make you look like you don't have an opinion on important matters.

Saying 'Gotsugou no yoroshii hou de' (Whichever is convenient for you) before the phrase makes you sound like a pro.
