Indicating something is not important.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The Dutch value directness but also pragmatism. This phrase is a way to avoid unnecessary conflict. In Flanders, you might hear 'Dat geeft niet' more often than in the Netherlands. In a professional setting, don't overuse this as it might make you seem unengaged. In comments, people often use 'Boeie' as a very informal, sometimes dismissive version.
