Q

It’s Good

“It’s fine,” “Go right ahead,” “Don’t worry about it” and “no problem.”

A

いいですよ – It’s Good

いいですよ can be used in a ton of different situations. Think of it as a gentle way to say, “It’s all good.” You’ll often hear いいよ [ii yo] (especially from females). You can treat it as saying “It’s fine,” “Go right ahead,” “Don’t worry about it” and “no problem.”

56
Q

ダメです (だめです) – It’s No Good

A

ダメです (だめです)

If you’re being somewhat polite and want to say “It’s not good,” you need to say よくありません[yoku arimasen] which is “It’s not good,” in normal-polite form, or よくない, as in, “It’s not good” in casual form.

To say something is “no good,” you can use ダメ (です). Although you can add です to this word, to say “It’s no good,” it’s more common to add だ (the casual form of です) instead. So ダメだ [dame da] can be translated as, “It’s no good,” “It’s useless” or “It’s pointless.”

One very common usage is dame desu/dame da, uttered when refusing permission or indicating that something is a bad idea.

57
