C’est le cadet de mes soucis is a fun little French idiom that translates literally to “It’s the youngest child of my worries”. The word souci translates to worry. English translations include:
- That’s the least of my worries.
- That’s the least of my issues.
French-to-French meanings including the following:
- Cela ne m’importe pas That’s not important to me
- Cela ne m’intéresse pas du tout I’m not interested in the slightest
- Cela m’est égal Fine with me
Here’s an example sentence:
- J’ai beaucoup de choses a faire cette semaine, mais reparer le climatiseur, c’est le cadet de mes soucis. I have a lot to do this week. But repairing the air conditioner, that’s the least of my worries.
