理所当然
To go without saying
A breakdown of the characters in 理所当然:
理 (lǐ):reason, logic (真理 - zhēn lǐ)
所 (suǒ):particle expressing emphasis
当 (dāng):proper or appropriate (应当 - yīng dāng)
然 (rán):this way or like this
If you are tired of saying 当然 (dāngrán- obviously, of course), try this out: 理所当然 (lǐ suǒ dāng rán).
理所当然 sounds like “to go without saying” or “as a matter of course,” and literally means that “according to reason, it should be the case.” Think of it as a slightly higher-brow “well duh!”
