The way I have heard Englishmen say it, "I don't mind" was used only when the person using this expression wanted to express his moderate acceptance of the outcome of a situation. "I don't care", however, can also be used to express indifference and to indicate that the outcome of a situation has no significance for you.

2020年4月1日 · I am really confused about how to use don't mind in negative sentences. Which one is correct? I can understand you, if you don't mind not speaking so fast. I can understand you, if you don't mind

2020年6月15日 · Don't Mind If I Do was a catch-phrase popularised by Colonel Chinstrap in the radio programme It's That Man Again. It means "thank you very much, I am pleased to accept your kind offer". It is chiefly used in accepting the offer of a drink (well, that's usually when I use it, anyway), but will do for any other small gift.

2016年2月21日 · I always thought that it was "If you don't mind me asking", but I recently heard "If you don't mind my asking" (more precisely, whilst watching True Detective, I heard "If you don't mind me asking" but the subtitles read "If you don't mind my asking").

For this reason, it's usually acceptable to respond to the semantic intent of the question by answering "Yes (I can do that)", rather than responding to the grammatical form with "No (I don't mind)".

2019年12月27日 · The question "Do you mind?" with reference to this proposition could have 4 possibilities: I mind that you sit next to me. I mind that you don't sit next to me. I don't mind that you sit next to me. I don't mind that you don't sit next to me. Asking "Do you mind if I sit next to you?" references only the proposition and not its negation.

They are almost synonymous, and are sometimes used that way, but they have slightly different connotations. I don't care = I'm apathetic or it doesn't matter to me I don't mind = I care, but I don't object

2020年6月15日 · Would you mind providing some details, please? Is perhaps the more 'correct' and slightly more formal way of rephrasing your question. Or the example given by @unorthodox grammar is just as good, and slightly less formal: If you don't mind, would you please provide some details...?
