00 I just finished translation of one episode of my favourite TV Show to cut my teeth in english and I came across there to very cool idiom 01 b 01 i 00 "let the chips fall where they may."... 02 i 02 b 00 I heard that in this sentense: 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 I'm gonna tell it to the private investigator 01 b 00 and let the chips fall where they may 02 b 00 . 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 This said an soldier, who decided to the tell the truth, about how his friend really died. I have paraphrased this sentense as 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 I'm gonna tell it to the private investigator, I don't care. 02 i 02 br
02 br
00 Anyway, I'm just curious, I what situations is this idiom being used? Can you describe the situations where is better to use this mentioned idiom and where, vice versa, something easier...like 01 i 00 I don't care 02 i 00 or 01 i 00 and see what happends 02 i 00 ....I'm sure that there exists a lot of substitutions for this idiom.... 02 br
