Ничего страшного is a common Russian reassurance meaning “No problem,” “It’s okay,” or “Don’t worry about it.” Literally, it means “nothing scary/terrible.”
It is used after an apology, a minor mistake, inconvenience, or disappointing event. Its tone is generally calm, kind, and informal-to-neutral.
Related expressions include не переживай (“don’t worry”), всё нормально (“everything is fine”), не проблема (“no problem”), and пустяки (“it’s nothing”).
The phrase comes from ничего (“nothing”) and страшного, a form of страшный (“scary,” “terrible,” or “serious”).
