How it's used

This expression functions as a strong reassurance that the speaker has full control over a situation. It carries a sense of authority and reliability, often used by someone in a senior position or a more experienced person to soothe someone who is anxious or panicking. The inclusion of 我 implies that the speaker is taking personal responsibility for the outcome.

Common phrases

nei5你tung4同ngo5我ding6定di1啲

Just stay a bit calmer

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply telling someone to be calm, as it implies a promise of support or intervention. Using it in a situation where you have no power to influence the outcome can sound arrogant or dismissive of the other person's concerns.
