No problem! - Learn 10 ways of being helpful in Polish. September 27 2015, 0 Comments
Are you one of those people who are always eager to help? Great! The following phrases can help you to be helpful in Polish:
Nie ma sprawy and Nie ma problemu can be used interchangeably as they both mean the same thing - No problem/No big deal/That's fine.
Check out these mini dialogues:
A: Czy mogę pożyczyć twój samochód? (Can I borrow your car?)
B: Nie ma sprawy! (That's fine)
A: Czy możesz mi pomóc z remontem? (Can you help me with the renovation)?
B: Nie ma problemu! (No problem)
or
B: Oczywiście! (Of course) is also the one that can be used here.
Here are some more worth memorising, all meaning That's no trouble/No problem:
To żaden kłopot.
To nie kłopot.
To nie problem.
A: Czy mógłbyś mnie jutro zastąpić? (Could you [speaking to a man, informally] substitute for me tomorrow?)
B: Pewnie! To żaden kłopot. (Sure thing! That's no trouble)
When someone apologises to you for something, simply say
Nic nie szkodzi. (No worries/Not at all)
or, in an informal situation, respond by saying
Nie ma sprawy (No problem)
as in this example:
A: Nie mogłam wcześniej oddzwonić. Przepraszam. (I couldn't [a woman speaking] call you back sooner. I'm sorry).
B: Nic nie szkodzi. (Not at all)
