Tidak apa-apa.
Meaning
Tidak apa-apa. means That's okay..
When to use
Reassures someone after a small issue. Use this when a short, direct everyday phrase is enough.
How it works
Treat this as a ready-made phrase first. After it feels familiar, compare the translation and pronunciation chunks to see which part carries the request, object, place, or politeness.
Nuance
Neutral polite wording. Indonesian is often direct but polite; words like tolong, boleh, and permisi soften the request.
Watch out
Avoid translating word by word when speaking. Say the phrase as a complete chunk first.
Useful detail
Bahasa Indonesia usually has no verb conjugation by person, which makes short phrases reusable. Category: Essentials.
