| Mar 20, 2018 at 5:32 | comment | added | naruto | @RomiGarrido As I said, 別に and そんなの can sound blunt and indifferent -- at least superficially. | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 5:13 | comment | added | YTKN | Lol xD Mind if you explain why? You're actually right, the girl is kind of a tsundere >u< | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 5:09 | comment | added | naruto | @RomiGarrido Yes, that usage is fine, though it sounds a bit like tsundere :) | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 5:07 | comment | added | YTKN | Thanks a lot, naruto. I've seen a pretty similar context where this word is used again. It's a boy that tells her girlfriend he won't text her again while she's on college, because he thinks this bothers her. She answers with "べつにそんなの". If I'm right, べつに means the same thing as my example above, right? Basically " I don't mind/Not at all". So again, it's not rude(?). | |
