insouciance

[Ash101]

Can one use the word insouciant in the same sense as indifferent? ie:

He felt indifferent about the things she had said.
Il sentait insouciant par rapport aux choses qu'elle avait dit.

OR: Her indifference towards him was obvious.

Son insouciance envers lui était évident.

Thanks!

It's not necessarily equivalent although it can be. "insouciant" means "without worries" but is often used to say "careless" or "indifferent". And by the way, we do have the word "indifférent".
