Hi there!

I have some questions about this sentence. I know it can be used when you're expressing your indifference of something.

But what if you want to express you don't mind somebody, can you alter this sentence into " I can take him/her or leave him/her"?

And what about "I can take them or leave them"?

Look forward to your replies!

Thanks! :D

Thank you, Kitosdad! I didn't expect to get a reply in such a short time.

Have you ever heard people use it in these ways? and don't think it's awkward?
