trivial

/ˈtrɪvɪəl/adjective

Not important or valuable; minor.

Example sentences

  • “They argued over something completely trivial.”
  • “Don't waste the manager's time with trivial questions.”

Dismissive in tone: calling a concern trivial rejects it. 'Minor' notes small size without the judgment.
