ingen bekymringer
The English phrase 'no worries' can be translated into Norwegian as ingen bekymringer.
While ingen bekymringer is a direct translation, it is often used in written contexts or more formal settings to mean 'no concerns' rather than the casual English 'no worries' used as a response to 'thank you'.
Meaning: it does not bother me (intj)
Which one should you use?
If you want to express 'no reason to worry' in a formal manner, use Ingen grunn til bekymring. For a more informal way to say 'nothing to stress about', you can use Ikke noe å stresse med. Additionally, Det går fint is a way to say 'it's fine'.
Did you know?
- If someone says 'thank you' and you want to say 'no worries' very casually, you are more likely to say Det var så lite, which literally means 'it was so little'.
- In Norway, the concept of 'worrying' is often linked to the word bekymring, which shares a root with the idea of 'bearing' a heavy burden.
- While ingen bekymringer is a direct translation, Norwegians are more likely to use the word bare (meaning 'only' or 'just') as a shorthand for 'no worries' when someone apologizes.
Examples in context
- Ikke noe å bekymre seg for, det skjer med oss alle.No worries, it happens to all of us.
