【No. 1076】Hecchara (へっちゃら - I Don't Mind)
Nov 28, 2017 22:49
If you want to express that it's easy to do something or you don't mind something, you can use the Japanese term "hecchara" (へっちゃら).
Originally, this term was called "heichara" (平ちゃら), but it has come to become "hecchara" in order to strengthen the impression.
The "hei" (平) comes from "heiki" (平気), which means "without hesitation" or "don't mind," and the "chara" (ちゃら) means "joke" or "bullshit."
It's thought that "hecchara" implies that you can do something while saying a joke without hesitation.

へっちゃら
何かが平気であることや、簡単にできることを意味する表現として、「へっちゃら」という日本語があります。
この言葉はもともと「平ちゃら（へいちゃら）」と呼ばれていましたが、印象を強めるために「へっちゃら」と変化したそうです。
「平」は「平気」を意味し、「ちゃら」は「冗談」や「でたらめ」を意味する言葉です。
「冗談混じりに平気で実行できる」ということから、「へっちゃら」は「簡単にできる」ということを意味するようになったと考えられます。

"bullshit" may sound a bit vulgar to some people (perfectly fine for me though)
Another word that comes to mind for でたらめ is "nonsense"
