How it's used
Used as a versatile response to requests, apologies, or inquiries about one's well-being. It functions similarly to "sure" or "no worries" in English, often conveying a sense of helpfulness or casual reassurance. It is frequently paired with sentence-final particles like 呀 or 嘛 to soften the tone.
