뜻
Expressing indifference.
문화적 배경
The phrase is a cornerstone of 'hospoda' (pub) culture. When ordering rounds of beer, if someone is flexible, they will always use this phrase. Czechs often value 'klid' (peace/quiet). Saying 'To je jedno' is a way to avoid unnecessary debate and maintain social 'klid'. In Slovakia, the phrase is identical ('To je jedno'), reflecting the shared linguistic and cultural history of Czechoslovakia. There is a shared 'bureaucratic indifference' in Central Europe where this phrase can sometimes be used by officials to mean 'it doesn't matter what you do, the result is the same.'
The Shrug
When saying 'To je jedno,' a slight shrug of the shoulders makes you look 100% more like a native speaker.
Don't be too indifferent
If you say 'To je jedno' too often on a date, you might seem bored. Mix it up with 'Mně se líbí oboje' (I like both).
