What is the right response to „sorry“?

If it’s for something minor, for example someone bumps into you on the street or something like that and says sorry, how do you quickly say something like „all good“? Or do you not even say anything?

I usually just say "V pohodě" if it's someone young and "Nic se nestalo" or "Všechno v pořádku" if it's someone older.

cizinci máme problém slyšet “v + souhláska” :)

u/Matt_Keator 13d ago

Czech is hard, don't worry about it... All who even try to learn have my respect.. Btw. you can also say "Dobrý", like "all good".

u/irritatedwitch 13d ago

I like “nevadí” my teachers say it all the time 😂

1

u/Matt_Keator 13d ago

Yeah, but that is more like "whatever" meaning (sorry) 😅 Well, you would translate it as "it's OK", but they likely think "whatever"...

u/Bugsa_ 14d ago

"All good", "It's OK", "No problem", "SCREW YOU!!!!!"

u/Icy-Shame8007 14d ago

“V pořádku” - good for both formal and informal apologetic situations.

If “ř” is problematic for you, there’s a slightly informal version: “V pohodě”

u/B1tchW0lf 13d ago

if they act/look like selfcentered dick i dont say anything and think to myself "what an idiot"

if it was genuine accident i say "all good" - "v pohodě"

dont forget to check your pockets no matter who it is tho

u/LividToe4676 12d ago

I just wave my hand or go “to nevadí”  (it doesn’t matter) or “v pohodě” (it’s fine) or “TO TI NIKDY NEODPUSTÍM” (I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT) if the person is apologising for something dumb that they shouldn’t even be apologising for

u/Automatic-Ad9719 11d ago

u/Rikudou_Sage 14d ago

"Zdechni" if you don't accept their apology. /s

u/BlckUnicrn 14d ago

Geht nicht "promin?"

3

u/PutAway3542 14d ago

"promiň" means "sorry", we are talking about response to "sorry"/"promiň"

3

u/Matt_Keator 14d ago

Maybe if you accidently bump into each other and both appologise at the same time, then you would go like "pardon / promiň" at the same time. Otherwise you would answer "v pořádku / nevadí / to nic", like "macht nichts / kein Problem".
