Subject: Fair enough
Может быть, кто-нибудь знает похожее выражение в русском? Помимо "ладно". Контекст такой - "Fair enough". I am fond of that expression, aren't you? Хорошо бы фразеологизм найти...

Fair enough-согласен, хорошо, ладно, логично, разумно.
Безусловно зависит от контекста.
Но в любом случае выражает ваше согласие с чем-либо.
Здесь вот об этом выражении:
It means that (whatever happens to be the subject at hand) is fair enough that you agree. It's rather hard to explain because this isn't an expression but a legitimate use ofдн two words in the language. It originated in the early 1900s America, as a colloquialism.
Examples:
"I'll do the dishes if you sweep the floor"
"Fair enough"
"You need to cut your hair if you want to keep working here"
"Fair enough

но не вполне чистосердечное согласие, с оттенком уступки, "твоя взяла". Скорее "Ну ладно"

You use "fair enough" when you want to say that a statement, decision, or action seems reasonable to a certain extent, but that perhaps there is more to be said or done. ( mainly SPOKEN ) If you don’t like it, fair enough, but that’s hardly a justification to attack the whole thing... Collins Cobuild

it's a very, very widely used phrase and often doesn't mean a lot. In my experience, many people use it neutrally, as if to say, 'that's fine' or, 'that's a valid point'. But maybe this will help http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090128084556AAFkBso
but it can also be used ironically, to avoid confrontation (i.e. 'you're a complete bastard but i'm not gonna argue with you coz you're 10 stone heavier than me' ;-))
also cockney rhyming slang for 'furry muff' (but I didn't say that) ;-)))))

Спасибо! Пока перевела как "что ж, справедливо". Может, осенит еще... ;)
