Sometimes you just feel sluggish and unwilling to make an effort (**üşengeç**). When you want to justify skipping your weekend chores, you can point out that the result is inevitable anyway using **nasıl olsa**.

### The Inevitable Outcome: Nasıl olsa

The adverb **nasıl olsa** translates to "anyway" or "in any case." It is used to express that a specific outcome is bound to happen regardless of what you do. It is the perfect discourse marker for waving away responsibilities.

{{item:859561}}

If chores are a huge effort or bother (**zahmet**) and you refuse to even move a muscle (**kıpırdatmak**), **nasıl olsa** is your best excuse for doing absolutely nothing.

{{item:859564}}

### Carefree and Messy

When efforts seem completely futile or in vain (**beyhude**), it is easy to become completely carefree (**gamsız**) and ignore the mess. For instance, you might realize there is no point in complaining about a messy (**pasaklı**) roommate.

### Enjoying the Blessing of Sunday

Embracing a lazy, unhurried (**telaşsız**) Sunday is a true blessing (**nimet**). You should enjoy it while it lasts, because the ultimate inevitable outcome is that the weekend will end.
