how to translate the australian "no worries" answer correctly? I like that expression.
- ne memzorgegigu! (to long)
- ne multe memprijuĝu!
Thanks a lot.

Ne grave
Ne zorgu
Ne havu zorgojn (mi ne vere ŝatas ĉi tiun ĉar ĝi estas latinidlingvaĵo)

I searched the reta vortaro for "worries":
ĝen/i
zorg/i

Trusting the german translation "ne gravas" don't mean excactly what "no worries" means. I like "that relaxed deny of having any worries". Quite usefull if it is stinky hot.
grav/a

The LEO-Translator tells me that "No worries" means "Kein Problem" in German.
In Esperanto I would therefore say: "Ne problemas"

Leporino:I always try to figure out things over differtent langauges.Hhm, I'm not sure. But I believe english natives distinct between matters and problems. Mostly for english natives something is a matter. For Germans mostly everything is a problem still at the beginning.

At the Longman Essential Activator "worry" is explained:
"to keep thinking about a problem or about something bad that might happen, so that you cannot relax or feel happy ... don't worry SPOKEN (say this to tell someone not to worry)
For me "no worries" sounds like "I can not see something bad that might happen, so that you cannot relax or feel happy" so "no worries"
But when I use "Don't worry." and when I use "No worries"? Both times I say that to another person.
I believe "ne zorgu" = "no worries" would be fine.

And to all the grammarians out there, YES, I know there is no verb, but meh. If you're in a "no worries" mood, who cares about making true sentences?

It seems to me that Aussies often use it as a substitute for "you're welcome".
So if I say to an Aussie, "Hey, thanks for that help you just gave me," the Aussie will frequently respond "No worries".
Similarly, when someone thanks me, I will sometimes say "No problem", or "Oh, it was no problem" instead of saying "You're welcome".
That's probably why 'kein problem' showed up as a translation.
