About this episode

In this episode, Michael DiGiacomo discusses the casual English phrases 'no big deal' and 'no biggie' as friendly responses in conversation.

1062 - No Big Deal / No Biggie - English Tips in a Minute | Happy EnglishHey there! It’s Michael here - and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. Today, let’s look at two really common conversational responses - “no big deal” and “no biggie.”We use no big deal or no biggie to mean “it’s not a problem” or “don’t worry about it.” They’re casual, friendly ways to respond when someone apologizes or thanks you. For example, imagine your friend says: “Sorry I’m a little late.” You could reply: “No big deal.” Or maybe a coworker says: “Thanks for helping me with that report.” You can say: “No biggie!” We also use these phrases when something small goes wrong: “Oops, I spilled a little coffee.” “Oh, no big deal.” No biggie sounds a little more casual and playful, while no big deal is a bit more common for everyday situations.
