How it's used

Expresses a sense of indifference or acceptance when multiple options are presented. It functions as a way to signal that the speaker has no strong preference and is willing to go along with whatever is decided. It often appears at the end of a clause to soften a suggestion or to indicate that a compromise is acceptable.
