الرد على الاعتذار
When people apologize to us, it is very common to say something to reassure them[ tell them that "everything is OK," and that we are not angry]. Here are some common expressions. Note that we often use two of them to emphasize the fact that "it's OK."
A: I'm sorry I'm late.
B: That's OK. Don't worry. / Never mind. It doesn't matter. / That's OK. No problem.
عادة عندما يعتذر لنا الآخرون نحن يجب أن نطمئنهم أن كل شيء على ما يرام وأننا لسنا غاضبين باستخدام إحدى التعبيرات التي ذكرت في المثال ، والأكثر شيوعا أن نستخدم تعبيرين معا لكي نؤكد حقيقة أن كل شيء بخير فنقول مثلا (كل شيء بخير، لا تقلق)
