Meaning of "least mind" #1 (permalink) Tue Oct 10, 2006 22:30 pm   Meaning of "least mind"
 

Hi..I'm kind of confused about this sentence :

What kind of chores do you least mind doing?

What does LEAST MIND mean in this sentence? Is it same with don't mind?

In this sentence 'mind' has a meaning similar to 'dislike' or 'have some objection to'. (dislike = not like)

''don't mind'' means ''don't dislike'' or ''have no objection to''. For emphasis you can say ''I don't mind at all.''

So ''least mind'' is not the same as ''don't mind''. ''least mind'' means having a relatively small dislike or objection while ''don't mind'' means having no dislike or objection.
