Depending on the context, you can say “no big deal,” “it’s alright,” or “don’t worry” in place of the Spanish expression “no pasa nada.” However, you would still hear a lot of Spanish speakers using the literal translation, “nothing happens.” This space here is where I talk about common errors like that, along with grammatical mistakes, confusing words, and even myths that we need to break; but also, phrases/words and their origins that I think anyone curious about language and culture will find interesting.
