I translated into google translate and the meaning is casual. What "casual"
things that suit with this word? Is this word means "merely" ?

Thanks in advance

Real meaning of nanigenai 「何気ない」?
It means casual in the sense of.. casual, unconcerned, without much attention.
However, I believe it would not be used for "casual" when referring to look or
clothes.

Consider the following sample sentences:

>   1. 何気なく言った言葉も誰かを傷つけることがある。
>

_Even a casual remark could hurt someone's feelings._

>   2. 彼女はその本に何気なく目をやった。
>

_The girl had a casual glance at the book._

Do the above example clarify the meaning?
