  What it means

  Literally “without difference.” This is a very common, slightly casual way to say that you don’t have a preference or that two options are equal to you. It’s the “I don’t care” of the Polish language, but in a neutral, non-aggressive way.

  Vocabulary

  • bez — without
  • różnica — difference
  • obojętne — indifferent / it doesn't matter

  Grammar note

  The preposition 'bez' always governs the genitive case. 'Różnicy' is the genitive of 'różnica'. In spoken Polish, this is often used as a one-word response.

  Cultural context

  You will hear this constantly when offering choices (e.g., "Tea or coffee?" — "Bez różnicy").
