How it's used

Used primarily as a polite response to someone expressing gratitude, functioning identically to 'you are welcome'. It carries a slightly more casual and warm tone compared to the more formal '唔使多謝'. It is common to drop the '客氣' part entirely in very close relationships, simply saying '唔使' to mean 'no need to mention it'.

Examples

do1多ze6謝nei5你bong1幫sau2手，m4唔sai2駛haak3客hei3氣。

Thanks for your help, you're welcome.

nei5你gam3咁haak3客hei3氣zou6做me1咩，m4唔sai2駛haak3客hei3氣laa1啦。

Why are you being so polite? You're welcome.

Common phrases

m4唔sai2駛haak3客hei3氣laa1啦

Don't mention it, really.

Common mistake

Beginners often confuse this with '唔使', which means 'no need' or 'don't have to'. While '唔駛客氣' is a fixed phrase for 'you're welcome', using '唔使' alone in a gratitude context can sometimes sound dismissive if the tone is not friendly.
