Hey, for this lesson. I don't mind if you goof off. Yeah, go ahead, I don't mind. You don't even have to pay attention. I don't mind...


~てもかまわない: You may... I don't mind.

Remember ~てもいい from the Fledgling Forest? Well, ~てもかまわない is essentially its older sibling. Just like ~てもいい, ~てもかまわない is all about expressing that the speaker "doesn't mind if (someone) does X".
