A1 Expression 非正式

Non preoccuparti

Don't worry

意思

Trying to comfort someone.

🌍

文化背景

Italians use 'Non preoccuparti' to maintain 'bella figura'. It’s often accompanied by a specific hand gesture: a slight wave of the hand as if brushing away a fly. In the South, you might hear 'Statte tranquillo' (Stay calm/quiet) which is a more dialectal and warm way of saying don't worry. Even in modern Italian startups, the shift from 'Non si preoccupi' to 'Non preoccuparti' happens quickly as a sign of team bonding. Italian mothers are famous for worrying ('preoccuparsi'). A child saying 'Mamma, non preoccuparti!' is a very common household sound.

💡

The 'Ti' Rule

If you find 'Non preoccuparti' hard to say, you can say 'Non ti preoccupare'. It's the same meaning and sometimes easier to pronounce.

⚠️

Watch the Register

Never say this to your Italian father-in-law the first time you meet him! Stick to 'Non si preoccupi' until he asks you to use 'tu'.
