What does 무시하시면 돼요 mean?

무시하시면 돼요 means "It is okay to ignore it" in Korean.

How it works here

‘V-시면 되다’ appears as ‘무시하시면 돼요,’ telling the listener that doing that is fine. ‘-시-’ and ‘-요’ make the speech polite.

Key expression

-시면 돼요

An expression used to politely allow someone to do something or tell them that doing so is the way to resolve the matter

‘-시면 되다’ is a respectful expression corresponding to ‘-아/어도 되다’ (may; it is okay to). It is often used in instructions, permissions, and explanations of how to resolve something, and can be conjugated as ‘돼요,’ ‘됩니다,’ or ‘되세요.’ Compared with ‘-시면 괜찮아요,’ it more strongly gives the exact method or procedure to follow.
