How it's used

Native speakers prefer the character 冇 over 沒 when expressing the absence of a relationship. While 沒關係 is understood in writing, it sounds like a direct translation of Mandarin in spoken Cantonese. Use 冇關係 to sound natural and local.

Common mistake

Learners often use 沒關係 as a polite response meaning 'it does not matter' or 'you are welcome', which is a Mandarin usage. In Cantonese, use 唔緊要 or 冇問題 instead to convey that sentiment.
