what the fuck
>>202455877I shall kick your dumb arse
>>202455877Yes, I would.or Yes, I shall get it myself.
What does I don't mind mean there? I don't want?
>>202455896even if yes I shall seems a bit weird "I don't mind" seems even weirder, yes I do mind what is in my drink thank you very much, I can't imagine someone saying it to a waitress
>>202455914It's a bit rude/dismissive but they will understand the meaning
>Yes, I shallNiggas talking like a medieval knight
>>202455932literally show me one example of this happening in media and I will say ok i'm wrong. Otherwise, fuck no, no one talks like this
>I don't mindThat's usually used when someone is asking if you mind them doing something they intend to do, not something they asking if you want.What autistic site are you using?
>>202455912it means you don't mind if there's ice or notyou're happy either way
>>202455967Also saying "or not" at the end makes the worker sound passive aggressive. So points for accuracy on that I guess.
>>202455967cambridge enlish test
>>202455968Idk man if some worker asks if I want ice or not and I say I don't mind I expect them fully to look at me irritated and ask again.
>>202455877both of these answers are wrong"shall" means "will", which is not the same as "would"but I don't mind is just a weird answer. they weren't asking if you minded, they were asking if you wanted
>>202455985Maybe Britishers are just weird.
>>202455949>If you are offered something or offered a choice and you say 'I don't mind', you are saying politely that you will be happy with any of the things offered.it makes much more sense when talking to a friend or something, not a waiter
>>202455877Shall is a modal verb expressing>a future commitment, assertion or intentionI shall go to Brazil>weak volition (willingness) You shall stay with us for as long as you like (I am willing to let you stay)>strong volition (insistence)You shall obey my orders (I insist that you should obey my orders; you do not have a choice)Even then, if you want to answer a question in the affirmative, you should use the modal in the original question>Would you like a glass of milk?>Yes, I would
>Getting a drink at a restaurant>"Would you like ice with that or not?">"Yes I shall!">Waiter rolls their eyes and gives you ice in your drinkOR>"I don't mind.">"So do you want ice or not?"Either just makes you sound autistic.
>>202456070I shall want the ice.
>>202456155Well this doesn't work because deciding whether to have ice in your drink or not is a spur-of-the-moment thing that happens as soon as the waiter asks for your preference. "I shall want the ice" sounds like you didn't get ice this time around but are determined to get it at another restaurant in the distant future.
>>202455877Yes, I don't mind
>>202456180ok dude both sound weird, but i don't mind sounds even weirder, literally no one talks like that. I could see sheldon bazinga saying "Yes I shall" with a smug look on his face but I can't picture anyone saying "I don't mind"
>>202456209>but I can't picture anyone saying "I don't mind"It's actually a fairly common expression, as is "Do you mind if I do X?". Sure, in the context of a restaurant interaction it sounds a bit off, but I suppose they weren't asking for a natural human response and they just wanted to see whether you would use the most appropriate structure from the ones you were given.>t.

>>202456254NIGGAof course I can picture I don't mind>Would mind giving your seat to this poor elderly fuck?>I don't mindI'm saying I can't picture it on the context of a restaurant, like, really, can YOU picture someone saying to a waitress >Would like some ice in your drink or not?>Heh. I don't mind....>Excuse me sir?

>>202456468Monkeys don't live in steppes, genius.
>>202456510baboons do
>>202456541Deserts aren't steppes
>>202456576baboons don't live in the desert thoughever
>>202456591Anyway don't live in steppes
>>202456627but they do
>>202456638Ok, show me where are they on this map
>>202455877"Shall" implies a will to do something. They're asking you if you want something (they are the ones offering), not asking you if you'll do something, so it doesn't make sense.I don't mind sounds a bit strange here, but it does work.
>>202456925But you will do something, you will want the ice
>>202455877Aye milady, I shall venture on the quest of the frigid cuboid
You should always say 'Yes I shall' in this context given those two optionsPeople who say 'I don't mind' are fucking annoying
>>202456128True I don't think I've ever heard someone use "shall" irl it sounds like something from the 19th century And "I don't mind" is way too indecisive
