¡No hay problema!

Question

Is "¡No hay problema!" one way of saying "It is okay!"?

Literally does "No hay problema" mean "there are no problems"?

Are there other, more accepted, translations? I think I've heard "No problema!" without the "hay".

Answer 2

There are degrees of informality in English too:
No prob.
No problem.
No problemo.
There's no problem.
There isn't a/any problem.
There aren't any problems.
I don't have any problems with that.

Shockingly, a similar thing happens in Spanish. You might even think we were from the same planet or something.

Bueno! You've got me laughing! Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to know, isn't it! - bandit51jd, Nov 13, 2010

Hi bandiit!

I think I wouldn't say "No problema", it doesn't seem so correct to me although there are a lot of people saying it.

I also use: "¡No hay ningún problema!

But yes, it means "It's okay!" or "There is no problem!"

So your suggestion means "There is nothing wrong! " ? I guess this would be more formal and showing respect? - bandit51jd, Nov 13, 2010

It means "There isn't any problem.". Well, I guess it could be a little bit more formal. - culé, Nov 13, 2010
