An Australian car displays «No worries»
No worries is an expression seen in English meaning «do not worry about that», «that’s all right», «forget about it» or «sure thing». It is similar to the American English «no problem«. The phrase is widely used in Australian speech and represents a feeling of friendliness, good humour, optimism and «mateship» in Australian culture. The phrase has been referred to as the national motto of Australia.
The phrase has influenced a similar phrase used in the Tok Pisin language in Papua New Guinea. Its usage became more common in British English after increased usage in Australian soap operas that aired on television in the United Kingdom. Linguistics experts are uncertain how the phrase became utilized in American English; theories include use by Steve Irwin on the television program The Crocodile Hunter and usage by the United States media during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. It has also gained common usage into Canadian English.[1][2]
Definition[edit]
No worries is an Australian English expression, meaning «do not worry about that»,[3] or «that’s all right».[4] It can also mean «sure thing»[5] and «you’re welcome».[6] Other colloquial Australian terms which mean the same thing include «she’ll be right».[7] The expression has been compared to the American English equivalent «no problem».[8] In their book Australian Language & Culture: No Worries!, authors Vanessa Battersby, Paul Smitz and Barry Blake note: «No worries is a popular Australian response akin to ‘no problems’, ‘that’s OK’ or ‘sure thing’.»[9]
Cultural origins[edit]
Early documentation dates the phrase back to 1966.[10] According to author of When Cultures Collide: Leading Across Cultures, Richard D. Lewis, the phrase is a form of expression of the relaxed attitude in Australian culture.[11] Anna Wierzbicka comments that the expression illustrates important parts of Australian culture, including: «amiability, friendliness, an expectation of shared attitudes (a proneness to easy ‘mateship’), jocular toughness, good humour, and, above all, casual optimism».[12] She concludes that along with «good on you», the expressions reflect the «national character» and «prevailing ethos» of Australia.[13]
Usage[edit]
Wierzbicka writes in her book Cross-cultural Pragmatics that the expression «permeates Australian speech», «serves a wide range of illocutionary forces» and displays a «casual optimism».[14] In her 1992 book Semantics, Culture, and Cognition, Wierzbicka classifies the phrase as «among the most characteristic Australian expressions», along with «good on you».[12]
The term can also be used in the context of an apology.[15] The phrase has been used widely in British English since the late 1980s, a development partly attributed to the success of Australian soap operas such as Neighbours in the United Kingdom.[16]
The phrase «no wucking forries» has the same meaning in Australia; as a spoonerism of «no fucking worries»,[3][17] and is contracted to the phrases «no wuckers» and «no wucks».[3]
Influence[edit]
No worries was referred to as «the national motto» of Australia in 1978,[12] and in their 2006 work, Diving the World, Beth and Shaun Tierney call «no worries, mate» the national motto of the country.[6] Writing in The New York Times Book Review, Annette Kobak calls the expression a «ritual incantation» which has «particular charm».[18] The phrase «no waris» in the Papua New Guinea language Tok Pisin is derived from the Australian English term.[19][20]
According to The Sunday Mail a 2004 newspaper report notes that no worries has begun to be used in American English.[21] Writing in a 2004 article for The Advertiser, Samela Harris comments: «The Americans have no idea of the etymology of ‘no worries’. So, while they may cheerily adopt our ‘no worries’ mantra, ‘no worries’ will never catch on as an attitude.»[22] According to Tom Dalzell, author of two books on slang usage in the United States, linguistics experts are not certain how the expression became popular in that country. One possibility not mentioned in the source is the prominent position of this phrase in the lyrics of song «Hakuna Matata» in the popular 1994 Disney film The Lion King.[23] Usage of the term by Steve Irwin on The Crocodile Hunter, as well as attempts by members of the American press to imitate the expression during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, have been put forth as theories explaining the pervasiveness of the expression in the United States.[23] Linguistics professor Kate Burridge writes in her 2004 book Weeds in the Garden of Words that expressions including «no worries», «absolutely», and «bottom line» have become less prevalent in favor of newer sayings.[24]

What do English speakers say: no worry, no worries or don’t worries?
Not all of these expressions are correct and we’ll explain why below. The short answer is that:
- “No worry” is incorrect.
- “No worries” is correct.
- “Don’t worry” is correct.
- “Don’t worries” is incorrect.
Let’s apply these expressions correctly in sentences with an appropriate context.
“No worry” is an incorrect expression. Instead, we would say, “no worries.”
“No worries” is a common idiomatic expression that means “it’s fine” or “it’s all right.” You can use this phrase to reassure someone who is worried or to tell someone not to worry.
For example,
If you didn’t get time to call your family because you had a lot of other work to prioritize, your family could say “no worries” to show that it’s not a big deal and doesn’t require an apology.
“No worries” can also be used as a standalone sentence when you want to reassure someone. This is not rude, unlike answering the one-worded answer “yep,” as discussed in a previous article.
Other Example Sentences with “No Worries”
- “I don’t understand how to do this report.” -“No worries, I’ll help you.”
- “Thank you for minding the kids for the hour.” -“No worries. We had fun!”
- Sorry, we’ll be a few minutes late.” -“No worries, we just got here.
- “I completely forgot to bring a gift.” -“No worries! It’s fine!”
- “Thanks for covering my work shift today.” -“No worries.”
- “Thanks for the ride” -“No worries. I was driving this way anyway!”
Don’t Worry or Don’t Worries
“Don’t worry” is the correct idiomatic expression to use when you want someone to stop worrying.
We never say, “don’t worries.”
For example, if your friend is worried about an upcoming test, you could say: “Don’t worry, you’ll get through this!”
Other Example Sentences with “Don’t Worry”
- “I’m feeling a little sick.” -“Don’t worry, you’ll feel better soon.”
- “I’m sorry I was so late.” -“Don’t worry, it’s okay.”
- “I think we’ll lose this game.” -“Don’t worry, there’s still time!”
- “I totally forgot to call you.” -“Don’t worry, I forgive you!”
- “Is everything okay?” -“Yes, don’t worry! I’m just tired.”
- “Don’t worry about the kitchen. I’ll clean it up!”
- “Thanks for giving me a lift to the bus station.” -“Don’t worry about it. I’m heading in this direction anyway!”
As you can see, the phrase “don’t worry” is very versatile and can be used in many different situations.
“No Worries” or “Don’t Worry”?
“No worries” and “don’t worry” are often used interchangeably, but there are some slight differences that should be noted.
“No worries” is used for casual situations that don’t need any cause for concern. No worries” is often used to respond to “thank you.” It is another way of saying “no problem” or “your welcome.” “No worries” has a more relaxed tone than the expression “don’t worry.
“Don’t worry” can be used in casual and polite conversations to also mean there is no cause for concern. “Don’t worry” is also used when the person is upset, worried, or anxious. This is a more genuine way of telling someone not to be worried. “No worries” would be too casual in this case.
