Word origin

In 没意见 (méiyìjiàn, "have no opinion"), 没 (méi, "not have") marks the absence of 意见 (yìjiàn, "opinion or objection"), and the combination naturally covers both no stated view and no objection.

Usage tips

  • An English statement about having no opinion can sound detached or unwilling to choose, whereas this everyday reply often simply allows a plan to go ahead without objection.
