About

The word "没事儿" is formed by combining the character 没, meaning "not" or "without", with 事, meaning "matter" or "affair", and adding the suffix 儿, a colloquial marker from Northern Chinese that indicates a casual, spoken tone; this construction results in a phrase literally translating to "no matter" and is used to express "it's okay" or "no problem".
