A2 Expression 비격식체

ei mikään hätä

no need to worry

Reassuring someone that everything is fine.

🌍

문화적 배경

Finns value 'oma rauha' (personal peace). Saying 'ei mikään hätä' is a way of granting that peace to someone else. In Finnish offices, this phrase is used to prevent burnout and maintain a flat hierarchy where people don't feel unnecessary pressure. Finnish service is often described as 'slow' by foreigners, but it's actually just 'unrushed.' Cashiers will often use this phrase to calm flustered customers. Apologizing is common in Finland, but over-apologizing is seen as unnecessary. This phrase is the standard 'stop' signal for apologies.

💡

The Smile Factor

Even though Finns are stoic, a small smile while saying this makes the reassurance feel much more genuine.

⚠️

Don't over-use

If you say it too many times in one conversation, it might sound like you're not listening to the other person's concerns.
