事

About

The word "没事" is formed by combining the character "没", which means "not have" or "without", with the character "事", which means "matter", "affair", or "incident". This creates a literal meaning of "no matter" or "nothing happening", where "没" directly negates "事" to express the absence of an issue or problem, often used idiomatically to convey "it's nothing" or "no problem".
