Acceptance Pattern: X就X(点儿)吧

X就X(点儿)吧 · X jiù X (diǎnr) ba

Express reluctant acceptance or resignation using the pattern X就X(点儿)吧

PatternX + 就 + X + (点儿) + 吧Repeat an adjective or verb with 就 in between and 吧 at the end to express reluctant acceptance: "If it's X, then let it be X." The optional 点儿 softens it further. This pattern shows that the speaker accepts an imperfect situation.
