mou daijoubu desu
It's already fine now
Significado
Used to reassure someone that a problem has been resolved.
The word 'もう' (mō) has existed in Japanese for centuries, indicating a state of completion or 'already.' '大丈夫' (daijōbu) is a compound word: '大' (dai) means 'big' or 'great,' and '丈夫' (jōbu) originally referred to a 'strong man' or 'hero' in ancient China, later coming to mean 'strong,' 'durable,' or 'healthy' in Japanese. Over time, '大丈夫' evolved to broadly mean 'safe,' 'secure,' or 'all right.' When combined with 'です' (desu), it forms a polite and common expression. The entire phrase 'もう大丈夫です' therefore literally means something akin to 'It is already all right/safe/strong.' Its modern usage as a reassuring phrase for resolved problems is a natural semantic extension of these components.
