How to Say ‘No worries’ in French

Pas de souci

pah duh soo-SEE

[pah duh soo-SEE]

💬 Usage Tip: In speech the de often shrinks, so it can sound like (pad-soo-see). You'll also hear pas de problème "no problem" built the same way.

🇫🇷 In France: This is casual and very common, especially among younger people. It's fine with a taxi driver but a bit loose for a formal setting.
