Reassuring someone after they apologize for a small mistake.

Risk

safe

Do not use it to dismiss a serious problem if action is still needed. Add 没事,我来处理 if you will handle it.

没关系 lets a beginner respond kindly instead of freezing after someone says sorry.

Examples

Say it inside real sentences.

Run the 4-step recall
01 It’s okay. I’ll wait for you.
02 It’s okay. Just be careful next time.

Mini dialogue

Hear the social move.

Play both lines, then say the second line without looking.

A Sorry, I’m late.
B It’s okay.

Contrast

02 No problem. Often means it can be done.
