• Мне (глубоко) фиолетово
[mne (glu-ba-ko) fi-a-le-ta-va]
SLT: To me (it is) deeply violet
🇬🇧 I don't care,
It doesn't matter (much)
🔻 Many people associate the appearance of the expression “Мне фиолетово” with the famous band Deep Purple. However, it is not true.
🔻Actually, in an acidic environment, litmus paper turns red; in an alkaline environment, it turns blue. Litmus itself is violet, so it remains violet in a neutral environment. Hence the common colloquial expression “Мне (глубоко) фиолетово”, that is, “it doesn’t matter much”, “I'm (absolutely) indifferent”.
