Lesson body
Phrase breakdown and usage notes
Quick use
Use これでだいじょうぶです (kore de daijoubu desu) while shopping when the current option is acceptable.
Chunk or pattern
- Reusable pattern:
〜 で / だいじょうぶ です - Replace
〜with the option you are accepting. - Good swaps here:
これ,このサイズ,カード.
Core words
これ: this.だいじょうぶ: okay / fine.
Helper words and endings
で: here it works like “with this” or “this option is okay.”です: polite sentence ending.
Practical note
This is useful after the staff asks about a size, color, bag, payment method, or other option. Be aware that だいじょうぶです by itself can sometimes mean “No, thank you,” but これでだいじょうぶです clearly points to the option you accept.
