Quick use

Use だいじょうぶです (daijoubu desu) in many everyday situations when you ask about the current situation. Use it when you want to say something is okay, fine, or not necessary.

Chunk or pattern

  • This is a fixed phrase.
  • Learn the whole line first instead of rebuilding it word by word.
  • Once it feels automatic, it becomes much easier to use under pressure.

Practical note

Be careful: depending on tone, this can also mean "No, thank you," not only "It is okay."
