How to Say “No Problem” in Chinese

Learn the difference between 没事, 没关系 and 没问题, three common Chinese expressions that can all translate as “no problem.”

没事 vs 没关系 vs 没问题

Start with what you want to do: reassure someone about your condition, accept an apology, or agree to a request. These are useful patterns, not strict rules.

Someone asks whether you are hurt or upset.

没事

I’m fine / Nothing’s wrong.

Describes your condition. A hesitant 没事 may downplay a problem; the words alone do not tell you how someone really feels.

Someone apologizes for a small mistake.

没关系 / 没事

It’s okay / Don’t worry about it.

Both are natural. 没关系 explicitly reassures the person that the mistake does not matter; 没事 is a common casual reply.

Someone asks you to help or checks whether a plan works.

没问题

Sure / That works / I can do that.

Often signals agreement or confidence. 没关系 mainly says something is not a concern, so it may leave a request unanswered.

Tone matters: a warm reply can reassure, while a clipped reply may sound impatient. 没问题 can also reassure someone, and 没事 can mean “nothing to do” in a sentence such as 我今天没事 (I have nothing to do today). Let the whole sentence guide you.

Put it into practice

What would you say?

Try 3 short situations, then check the explanation. You can change your answer and try again.

1. After a small fall

A: 你没事吧？ B: 没事。A: Nǐ méi shì ba? B: Méi shì.A: Are you okay? B: 没事。
What does B most likely mean here?

Show answer & explanation

I’m okay.

B is answering a question about their condition, so 没事 means “I’m okay” here. No task or apology has been mentioned. Tone and the situation still matter: this reply is not proof that nothing is wrong.

Review usage: 没事 →

2. A friend arrives late

对不起，我迟到了。Duìbuqǐ, wǒ chídào le.Sorry, I’m late.
You want to reassure your friend that it is okay. Which statement is accurate?

Show answer & explanation

Both 没关系 and 没事 can be natural replies.

Both expressions can accept this apology. 没关系 means “It’s okay / It doesn’t matter”; 没事 is also a very common casual reassurance. Neither is automatically more sincere: your tone helps convey that.

Review usage: 没关系 → 没事 →

3. Agreeing to help

明天能帮我看看吗？Míngtiān néng bāng wǒ kànkan ma?Can you take a look for me tomorrow?
Which reply most clearly says “Sure, I can do that”?

Show answer & explanation

没问题。

没问题 clearly accepts the request. 没关系 usually reassures someone that something does not matter; by itself it does not clearly commit you to helping here. 不客气 normally responds to thanks. Other replies such as 可以 can also accept this request.

Review usage: 没问题 → 没关系 →
