Use 'gleichgültig' to describe a lack of interest or concern, often in social or emotional contexts.

From 'gleich' (equal) + 'Gültigkeit' (validity), originally meaning 'of equal validity' but evolved to mean 'indifferent' in modern usage.

Usage Notes

Can be used in both formal and informal contexts, but may sound harsh if used to describe a person's attitude toward serious matters.
