When someone says “对不起” (duìbuqǐ – sorry), the most common reply you’ll hear is “没关系” (méiguānxi). It means “it doesn’t matter” or “never mind.”
You can also use “没关系” to respond to a “谢谢” (xièxie – thank you), meaning “no problem” or “you’re welcome.” In this context, it implies that the effort was minor and not worth mentioning.
When someone says “对不起” (duìbuqǐ – sorry), you can reply with “没关系” (méiguānxi). This means “it’s okay” or “it doesn’t matter.”
You can also use “没关系” when someone thanks you. It's like saying “you're welcome” or “no problem.”
It’s a really useful phrase to know for common social interactions!
When someone says sorry to you, you can say 没关系 (méiguānxi) to mean 'it's okay' or 'no worries'. It literally translates to 'no relation' or 'no connection'. This phrase is also useful when someone thanks you. Instead of saying 不客气 (búkèqi) all the time, you can also say 没关系 (méiguānxi) as in 'it's nothing' or 'don't mention it'.
It can also be used to express that something 'doesn't matter'. For example, if someone asks you if you want coffee or tea and you don't have a preference, you can say 没关系 (méiguānxi), meaning 'either is fine' or 'it doesn't matter'. This shows flexibility and politeness.
When someone says sorry to you, you can say 没关系 (méi guān xì).
When you want to tell someone not to worry about something, or if something is not important, you can also use 没关系.
It means "it doesn't matter", "never mind", or "it's okay".
For example, if you accidentally bump into someone, they might say 没关系 to show that they are not hurt or bothered by it.
Or if you are late for a meeting, your friend might say 没关系 to indicate that your lateness is not a problem.
It's a very common and useful phrase in everyday Chinese conversations.
When someone says sorry to you, you can say 没关系 (méi guān xi) to them, meaning it doesn't matter or never mind. It literally translates to 'there is no relationship,' which means that there is no problem between you two. For example, if someone accidentally bumps into you and says 对不起 (duì bu qǐ) 'sorry', you can respond with 没关系 (méi guān xi) 'it's okay, never mind'.
没关系 30 सेकंड में
- Use to say 'it's okay' or 'no problem.'
- Commonly used when someone apologizes to you.
- Can also mean 'it doesn't matter.'
§ Basic Usage
The phrase 没关系 (méi guān xi) is super common in Chinese. It means "it doesn't matter" or "never mind." You'll hear it a lot, so it's good to get comfortable with it early on.
- DEFINITION
- It doesn't matter; never mind
The most straightforward way to use 没关系 is as a direct response when someone apologizes or thanks you.
A: 对不起！ (Duìbuqǐ! – Sorry!)
B: 没关系。(Méi guānxi. – It doesn't matter/Never mind.)
A: 谢谢！ (Xièxie! – Thank you!)
B: 没关系。(Méi guānxi. – It's nothing/You're welcome.)
§ Using 没关系 with a Noun or Clause
You can also use 没关系 to say that something specific doesn't matter. You'll often see it paired with a noun or a short clause explaining what isn't important.
没关系 + Noun: This structure is less common for simple nouns. You'd typically use it when clarifying that a specific thing isn't an issue.
钱没关系，我来付。(Qián méi guānxi, wǒ lái fù. – Money doesn't matter, I'll pay.)
没关系 + Clause: This is a very practical way to use 没关系. You put the clause (a short statement or condition) before 没关系 to say that the situation described in the clause isn't an issue.
你来不来没关系，我都会去。(Nǐ lái bu lái méi guānxi, wǒ dōu huì qù. – Whether you come or not doesn't matter, I will still go.)
下雨没关系，我们可以在室内玩。(Xià yǔ méi guānxi, wǒmen kěyǐ zài shì nèi wán. – It doesn't matter if it rains, we can play indoors.)
§ Contexts and Nuances
While 没关系 is pretty versatile, there are some specific contexts where it's particularly useful.
Dismissing an apology: This is probably the most common use.
A: 对不起，我迟到了。(Duìbuqǐ, wǒ chídào le. – Sorry, I'm late.)
B: 没关系，我刚到。(Méi guānxi, wǒ gāng dào. – Never mind, I just arrived.)
Assuring someone that something is fine: When someone is worried or hesitant, you can use 没关系 to reassure them.
A: 这个太重了，我可以帮你吗？ (Zhège tài zhòng le, wǒ kěyǐ bāng nǐ ma? – This is too heavy, can I help you?)
B: 没关系，我可以自己拿。(Méi guānxi, wǒ kěyǐ zìjǐ ná. – It's fine, I can carry it myself.)
When something is not an issue: Similar to the clause usage, but often in response to a potential problem.
A: 你介意坐火车吗？ (Nǐ jièyì zuò huǒchē ma? – Do you mind taking the train?)
B: 没关系，我很喜欢坐火车。(Méi guānxi, wǒ hěn xǐhuan zuò huǒchē. – It doesn't matter, I really like taking the train.)
§ Don't Overthink It
The beauty of 没关系 is its simplicity. You don't need a lot of complicated grammar. Just remember these core uses:
Responding to apologies.
Responding to thanks (casually).
Stating that something is not an issue or doesn't matter.
Practice using it in different situations, and you'll quickly get the hang of it. It's a phrase that will make you sound much more natural in Chinese conversations.
§ What “没关系” Means
- Definition
- It doesn't matter; never mind; it's okay.
“没关系” (méi guān xi) is a super common and useful Chinese phrase. You'll hear it all the time. It's basically how you say “it's okay,” “no problem,” or “it doesn't matter” in Chinese. It's used to reassure someone, dismiss an apology, or indicate that something is not a big deal. Think of it as a conversational all-rounder.
§ Saying “You're Welcome”
One of the most frequent ways you'll use “没关系” is as a response to an apology or a thank you. It's a polite way to say “you're welcome” or “no problem” when someone thanks you for a small favor.
A: “谢谢！” (Xièxie! - Thanks!)
B: “没关系。” (Méi guān xi. - You're welcome/No problem.)
A: “对不起。” (Duì bu qǐ. - Sorry.)
B: “没关系。” (Méi guān xi. - It's okay/No worries.)
§ At Work: Handling Small Issues
In a work setting, you might hear or use “没关系” when a minor mistake happens or a small inconvenience occurs. It helps to keep the atmosphere light and productive.
Someone spills coffee, but it didn't damage anything important.
“没关系，我来清理。” (Méi guān xi, wǒ lái qīng lǐ. - It's okay, I'll clean it up.)
A colleague is a few minutes late for a meeting that hasn't started yet.
“没关系，会议还没开始。” (Méi guān xi, huìyì hái méi kāishǐ. - It's fine, the meeting hasn't started yet.)
§ In School: Classroom Interactions
Students and teachers use “没关系” often. It creates a supportive learning environment.
A student accidentally drops a pen during a lesson.
“没关系，拾起来就好。” (Méi guān xi, jiě qǐlái jiù hǎo. - It's okay, just pick it up.)
A student makes a small error in their homework.
“这个错误没关系，将来注意就好。” (Zhè ge cuòwù méi guān xi, jiāng lái zhùyì jiù hǎo. - This mistake doesn't matter, just pay attention next time.)
§ In the News: Downplaying Issues
While you won't hear “没关系” in a formal news report, you might encounter it in interviews or discussions where someone is trying to downplay the significance of an event or issue.
When a minor problem is being discussed, a public figure might say:
“这个问题没关系，我们会解决的。” (Zhè ge wèntí méi guān xi, wǒmen huì jiějué de. - This issue doesn't matter, we will resolve it.)
§ Key Takeaways for “没关系”
Learning to use 没关系 correctly is important, but many English speakers make a few common mistakes. Let's look at what these are and how to avoid them.
§ Don't use it for 'It doesn't matter' in all situations.
While 没关系 translates to 'it doesn't matter,' it's primarily used in response to apologies or minor inconveniences. You wouldn't use it to say 'It doesn't matter' when discussing important decisions or outcomes.
For example, if someone asks you if you prefer coffee or tea and you truly don't have a preference, you wouldn't say 没关系. Instead, you might say:
我都可以。(Wǒ dōu kěyǐ.) (Either is fine for me.)
Or, to express that something is not important to you, you could say:
这个对我来说不重要。(Zhè ge duì wǒ lái shuō bù zhòngyào.) (This is not important to me.)
§ Not using it in response to 'Thank you.'
In English, we often say 'No problem' or 'It doesn't matter' as a casual response to 'Thank you.' However, in Chinese, 没关系 is generally not used in this way. The more common and natural responses to 谢谢 (xièxie - thank you) are:
- 不客气 (bú kèqi) - You're welcome
- 不用谢 (bú yòng xiè) - No need to thank
A: 谢谢！ (Xièxie!) (Thanks!)
B: 不客气。 (Bú kèqi.) (You're welcome.)
§ Confusing it with 'I don't care.'
While 'it doesn't matter' might sometimes imply a lack of caring in English, 没关系 does not carry the same connotation in Chinese. Using 没关系 to mean 'I don't care' can sound dismissive or rude, especially if someone is trying to involve you in something. If you truly don't care about something, there are other ways to express that, such as:
我不在乎。(Wǒ bù zàihu.) (I don't care.)
However, be cautious with '我不在乎' as it can also sound quite strong. Often, a more neutral way to express indifference or that you have no strong preference is:
随便。(Suíbiàn.) (Whatever / Up to you.)
§ Overusing it.
Like any phrase, overusing 没关系 can make your speech sound unnatural. While it's a very useful phrase, consider the context. Sometimes, a simple nod or a change of topic is enough without explicitly saying 没关系.
- DEFINITION
- It doesn't matter; never mind
How Formal Is It?
"您不介意我晚一点到吗？(Nín bù jiè yì wǒ wǎn yī diǎn dào ma?)"
"没关系，我等你。(Méi guān xi, wǒ děng nǐ.)"
"没事，小事一桩。(Méi shì, xiǎo shì yī zhuāng.)"
"小熊说：没关系，下次小心。(Xiǎo xióng shuō: Méi guān xi, xià cì xiǎo xīn.)"
"你来不来都无所谓。(Nǐ lái bu lái dōu wú suǒ wèi.)"
उच्चारण मार्गदर्शिका
- Not getting the tones right, especially the rising tone on 'méi' and the flat tone on 'guān xi'.
- Over-emphasizing 'guān' too much, making it sound like a separate word rather than part of the phrase.

没关系 is the common response to an apology, not the apology itself. The apology is 对不起 (duìbuqǐ).
While both are polite responses, 没关系 is for 'never mind' or 'it's okay' after an apology or minor issue. 'You're welcome' is 不客气 (bùkèqi) and is used after someone thanks you.
While 没关系 can convey this, 没事 (méishì) is also very common for 'it's nothing' or 'I'm fine', especially when asked if you're okay.

Often confused with 没关系 because they are frequently used together in polite exchanges, similar to 'I'm sorry' and 'It's okay' in English.
对不起 means 'I'm sorry' or 'excuse me'. It's an apology. 没关系 is the common response to an apology, meaning 'it doesn't matter' or 'never mind'.
A: 对不起！ (Duìbuqǐ!) - A: Sorry! B: 没关系。 (Méiguānxi.) - B: It's okay. / Never mind.
Both can be used to say 'it doesn't matter' or 'it's not serious'.
没关系 is more versatile and commonly used as a response to an apology or to indicate something is not important. 不要紧 often implies something is not severe or critical, or that it won't cause problems. While they can sometimes be interchangeable, 没关系 is a broader, more common phrase for 'never mind' or 'it's okay'.
你迟到了吗？不要紧，会议还没开始。 (Nǐ chídào le ma? Bùyàojǐn, huìyì hái méi kāishǐ.) - Are you late? It's not a problem, the meeting hasn't started yet.
Like 没关系, 没事 can also mean 'it's okay' or 'it's nothing'.
没事 has a slightly broader range of uses. It can mean 'it's okay' or 'never mind' (similar to 没关系), but it can also mean 'I'm fine' or 'nothing's wrong' when someone asks if you're okay. 没关系 is more specifically about 'it doesn't matter' in response to an inconvenience or apology.
你受伤了吗？ 没事，我很好。 (Nǐ shòushāng le ma? Méishì, wǒ hěn hǎo.) - Are you hurt? No, I'm fine.
Both are common polite responses, often used after 'thank you'.
不客气 means 'you're welcome' or 'don't be polite'. It's the standard response to 谢谢 (xièxie - thank you). 没关系 is a response to an apology or to dismiss an issue. They are not interchangeable.
A: 谢谢！ (Xièxie!) - A: Thank you! B: 不客气。 (Bùkèqi.) - B: You're welcome.
Both can convey a sense of 'everything is fine' or 'no issues'.
没问题 means 'no problem' or 'no issue'. It's used to confirm that something is achievable, easy, or that there are no difficulties. 没关系 dismisses an apology or indicates something is unimportant. While both express a lack of trouble, 没问题 focuses on the absence of a problem, and 没关系 focuses on the insignificance of something.
A: 你能帮我吗？ (Nǐ néng bāng wǒ ma?) - A: Can you help me? B: 没问题！ (Méiwèntí!) - B: No problem!

संज्ञा
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
When someone says sorry to you, say 没关系 (méi guān xì).
If someone thanks you, you can also say 没关系 (méi guān xì), meaning 'it's nothing'.
Many students use 没关系 (méi guān xì) in response to thanks, when 不客气 (bú kè qì) 'you're welcome' is usually a more appropriate response.
While 没关系 (méi guān xì) is not strictly wrong in this context, it can sound a bit distant or even imply that the thing they thanked you for was a bit of a hassle. Use 不客气 (bú kè qì) instead!
सुझाव
Basic use of 没关系
The most common use of 没关系 (méi guān xi) is to say 'it doesn't matter' or 'never mind'. It's a polite way to respond when someone apologizes to you.
Responding to apologies
If someone says 对不起 (duì bu qǐ) which means 'sorry', you can respond with 没关系. This is similar to saying 'it's okay' in English.
Grammar: 没 (méi)
Notice the character 没 (méi) which is a common negative particle, often used with verbs like 有 (yǒu) meaning 'to have'. Here, it negates the relationship implied by 关系 (guān xi).
Grammar: 关系 (guān xi)
关系 (guān xi) means 'relationship' or 'connection'. So, literally, 没关系 means 'no relationship' or 'no connection', which conveys 'it doesn't matter'.
Don't confuse with 不客气 (bù kè qi)
While both are polite responses, 没关系 (méi guān xi) is for 'it's okay' after an apology, whereas 不客气 (bù kè qi) means 'you're welcome' after a thank you. Don't mix them up!
Example: apology
A: 对不起！ (Duì bu qǐ!) - 'Sorry!'
B: 没关系。 (Méi guān xi.) - 'It's okay.'
Example: not important
A: 这个问题重要吗？ (Zhè ge wèn tí zhòng yào ma?) - 'Is this problem important?'
B: 没关系。 (Méi guān xi.) - 'It doesn't matter.'
Using in informal settings
没关系 is a very versatile and common phrase. You can use it in almost any informal or semi-formal situation without sounding rude. It's a good phrase to have in your basic vocabulary for social interactions.
Pronunciation practice
Pay attention to the tones: méi (second tone), guān (first tone), xi (light tone). The light tone for xi is important. Practice saying it aloud to get the natural rhythm and sound.
Listen for variations
You might sometimes hear people say 没什么 (méi shén me) or 没事儿 (méi shìr) in similar contexts, which also mean 'it's nothing' or 'no problem'. While related, 没关系 is the most direct response to an apology.

Summary
没关系 is a polite and common phrase for saying 'it's okay,' 'no problem,' or 'never mind' in Chinese.
- Use to say 'it's okay' or 'no problem.'
- Commonly used when someone apologizes to you.
- Can also mean 'it doesn't matter.'
Basic use of 没关系
The most common use of 没关系 (méi guān xi) is to say 'it doesn't matter' or 'never mind'. It's a polite way to respond when someone apologizes to you.
Responding to apologies
If someone says 对不起 (duì bu qǐ) which means 'sorry', you can respond with 没关系. This is similar to saying 'it's okay' in English.
Grammar: 没 (méi)
Notice the character 没 (méi) which is a common negative particle, often used with verbs like 有 (yǒu) meaning 'to have'. Here, it negates the relationship implied by 关系 (guān xi).
Grammar: 关系 (guān xi)
关系 (guān xi) means 'relationship' or 'connection'. So, literally, 没关系 means 'no relationship' or 'no connection', which conveys 'it doesn't matter'.
उदाहरण
没关系，下次注意就好了。
