How to Say ‘Don't worry, please.’ in French
Ne vous inquiétez pas, s'il vous plaît.
nuh voo an-kyeh-TAY pah seel eel voo pleh
[nuh voo an-kyeh-TAY pah seel eel voo pleh]
💬 Usage Tip: Ne vous inquiétez pas is the polite plural form. S'il vous plaît adds politeness, but here it sounds a bit unusual with reassurance.
🇫🇷 In France: French vets may sound calm and serious rather than overly cheerful, but that is normal and polite.
