- Persian speakers may use مشکلی نیست as a rhetorical way to avoid conflict, even when a problem actually exists, as a matter of ta'arof or social etiquette.
- While مشکلی نیست is polite, in very formal Iranian settings, people may use خواهش می‌کنم, which literally means 'I beg of you' but functions as 'you are welcome' or 'no problem'.
