translation - What does どうだと言うものでもない mean?


It's a dialogue from a game. Two girls talk about breast.


ニーナ:「あー‥アースラさんって意外に‥‥
アースラ:「ふん‥‥ 大きいから どうだと言うものでも、ないがな‥

I know that どうだ means "how; in what way" and と言うものでもない means "doesn't mean that; it's not (true) that; not necessarily", but what is どうだと言うものでもない?


My attempt - they’re big, but it doesn’t mean anything, though..



Answer




「どう(だ)と言うものでもない」




is a fairly common colloquial phrase meaning:



"It's nothing special.", "It's no big deal.", etc.



So, it seems you've got the gist of it.



"Just because my boobs are big, it's no big deal, really."
