matters
Is of consequence
Matters are subjects of concern, discussion, or importance: business matters, personal matters, matters of state.
The phrase a matter of introduces what something fundamentally involves: a matter of principle, a matter of time.
When something matters, it has significance or consequence: Your opinion matters to me.
What's the matter? asks what's wrong.
No matter dismisses relevance: No matter what happens, I'll be there.
