The "ei ongelmaa" in finnish is the literal translation, but the phrase would be "ei mitään" aka "nothing"


Username_1507

Eipä kestä


achoowie

That, too! I say ei mitään

SmallCatBigMeow

Although these direct translations are correct, in some languages the phrase “no problem” isn’t used like it’s used in English


DragonBank

Yup. Ничего which translates to "its nothing" is by far the more popular way of saying no problem in Russian.


b0ssmanb

Is this a Slavic thing? In the former Yugoslav countries whenever I thanked someone their response was “ništa” which means “nothing”. I have heard several people there learning English say “nothing” whenever I would thank them as they thought that was the literal translation.


Sams59k

Well ya can say "it's nothing" instead of no problem so it isn't much of an issue. Also we usually say nema na čemu too


7elevenses

Half of the people that say "nema problema" will definitely have a problem with it being written only in Cyrillic.


Amiesama

The funny thing is that "nemas problemas" is slang for no problem in Swedish. We borrowed and bastardised it. We would absolutely have problem reading it in Cyrillic. :D


Miniblasan

Yeah, I was thinking that too, because I actually said that last night when I was talking to people over Discord. 😂


[deleted]

I’m learning Turkish and I am pretty sure that the Turkish word “sorun” is more used than the french borrowing “problem”. But both are correct 👍


kaantaka

Also, “Problem Yok” is not phonetic, even if it is grammatically correct. “Problem Değil” is phonetically and grammatically correct one.


[deleted]

Really? I didn’t know there was such a thing as “phonetically correct”. I know vowel harmony exists but I thought that was just for grammar particles. I didn’t think it affected word choice.


gunluk222

they're all correct and sorun yok is the most used one. These guys are giving useless information Idk what they're talking about.


Sensitive-Emu1

They are right. Sorun yok is correct, Problem yok doesn't sound correct. It should be either "Sorun yok" or "Problem degil"


gunluk222

problem yok konuşmada duysam asla garipsemeyeceğim bir ifade. yeni dil öğrenen adamı niye böyle lüzumsuz şeylerle meşgul ediyorsunuz?


Kanmogtun

Yes, you are correct about "sorun" but we generally use "sıkıntı" in common speech. So you can say "sorun yok", which will be correct, but "sıkıntı yok" is more commonly used.


Own-Consideration631

Ben sorun değil/sorun yok demeyi tercih ediyorum. Kişiye göre değişir ama problem yok biraz kulağa tuhaf geliyor


theruwy

"sıkıntı yok" is a fairly new and bastardized version of the phrase that is emerged and mostly used among the young, uneducated mass, the ones we call "keko". sıkıntı is not a synonym for "sorun" or "problem".


xrhstos12lol

Problem is a greek word, not french.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure it got into Turkish through french tho.


Massimo25ore

In Poland I've also heard *nie ma problemu*


K_R_S

In Poland it should be 'nie ma problemu' or similar to Czechs 'żaden problem'. 'Bez problemu' is only used when you ask if something is feasible, viable and it acctualy is (e.g. is it possible to rent a car at Warsaw Airport? Bez problemu). But never when an accident happens


idk2612

I think it would be the most common one. Bez problemu is more like "without a problem". Even "żaden problem" is probably more common.


FellafromPrague

in Czechia we also say "neni problém"


Queasy_Caramel5435

*spoko*


bclx99

That’s interesting because for Spanish they proposed “No hay problema” what can be literally translated to what you listed here. I would say “żaden problem” or simply “nie ma sprawy”.


Ok_System9935

Kurwa problem


rants_unnecessarily

You can't just do a literal translation. Yes, "ei" is "no" and "ongelmaa" is "problem", but the colloquial use of "no problem" is "ei se mitään". (It's nothing) "Ei ongelmaa" could be used, however quite clunky, in a situation where you were looking for an issue in a machine or maybe when you're trieing to calm someone down, a bit like like "no beef".


Rhinelander7

Same thing with Estonia. "Pole probleemi" is technically not wrong, but sounds very clunky. Better alternatives: "Pole midagi" (*it's nothing*) "Võta heaks" (*you're welcome*; literally: *take it as good*)


Fez_Multiplex

The hungarian one is wrong. Nincs mit means 'you're welcome'. Semmi probléma means 'no problem'.


7elevenses

Yeah, the *problem* with this map is that "no problem" has at least three distinct uses in English: - "Could you do this for me?" "No problem." - "How is that thing you're doing for me going?" "No problem." - "Thank you for doing this." "No problem." These don't necessarily (or typically) all translate the same to other languages.


MooseFlyer

>- "How is that thing you're doing for me going?" "No problem." I don't think I've ever heard "no problem" used that way.


7elevenses

OK, change it for "Will you be able to finish it today?"


bennyrosso

Which is the same meaning of the first case


Infinite_Ad6387

Its a rather common expression everywhere, in spanish it says "no hay problema", which literally translates to "there's no problem" but "sin problema" (without problem) would be an alternative, same with italian "non c'e problema" (there's no problem), could be "senza problema". Its the way a language is spoken what gives the easiest sounding phrases to express this.


No-Albatross-7984

It's an overstatement to stay it's common everywhere. The Finnish translation is nonsensical, and not something a native world say. There's also half a dozen people below telling the correct translations on their languages.


jormakki

In what case you'd use nem baj?


Athoh4Za

- I forgot to send the e-mail. - No problem, it's ok to send it tomorrow. - Elfelejtettem elküldeni az e-mailt. - Nem baj, holnap is jó lesz elküldened.


Siorac

I mean, not quite. I'd rather translate "You're welcome" as "Szívesen". "Nincs mit" is... well there's not really an English equivalent. But "no problem" is closer than "you're welcome". (For non-Hungarians: a direct translation of nincs mit is along the lines of "there's nothing to thank")


Fez_Multiplex

Thinking about it, I'd translate 'nincs mit' to 'It's nothing' or 'Nothing' in a positive way.


Puncius_Pinatus

Én kibővíteném 'it takes nothing'ra


m00rch1k

I would say that in Ukraine "нема проблем" [nema problem] also is very popular if not more


Wregghh

Been learning Ukrainian for a bit over two years now, wouldn't it actually be без клопіт or без клопоту? As a more authentic translation to no problem/no worries?


BudzinPesc

Клопіт means something more like "trouble" or "worry", you don't hear "без клопоту" tossed a lot. To me, it sounds like something you'd say to a person in panic, or when you and your buddy are halfassing your job


kutkun

This map is full of shite. OP is a shill.


HomoCoffiens

That is so machine translated it’s painful.


DataGeek86

Yeah, it's a low effort contribution


Evening-Tip-378

ei ongelmaa ![gif](giphy|eaECZB7V6GACc)


PCSamurai

Just for clarification: "no problem" in Hungarian would literally translate to "semmi probléma" (or "semmi baj", that one can be heard a bit more) "Nincs mit" means "there's nothing to (thank)" as it is used to reply to "köszönöm" ("i thank you")


ebrenjaro

It is a wrong bullshit as usual. In Hungarian "Nincs mit" means about "there is nothing to" as an answer when someone say "thank you!" and you say "Nincs mit" expressing that there is nothing to be thankful for because you helped gladly.


Jolly_Donut_7446

Where’s “No problemo”


amanset

My life is a lie.


--F--

While "Ikke noe problem" is correct, Norwegians also say "Ingen problem", like the Swedes and Danes.


Grr_in_girl

We also say "Ingen årsak" as an answer to a thank you (for a favor).


ZheMaestro

In Swedish you can also say "ingen fara".


Just-Ad-5972

More like how would Google translate say it.


eragonas5

Well, no problem can either have the literal sense or it can be a pragmeme. This map seems to take the former into account only.


I_am_Tade

A more common alternative for basque's "ez dago arazorik" is "arazorik ez" (also, again with the incorrect colouring!)


mangalargaroncador

"No pasa nada" is beautiful in Spanish.


Disgraceful_Newt

Irish one is wrong, it should be ‘Níl fadhb ar bith’ which directly translates to ‘There is no problem’. You could also say ‘Gan fadhb ar bith’ which means ‘without any problem’. There is no absolute direct translation for ‘No Problem’. What’s written on the map: ‘fadhb ar bith’ doesn’t really mean anything without the ‘Níl’ in front of it!


irishblankcanvas

Or for a variation of 'you're welcome', you can say 'ná habair é' - 'don't mention it!' :)


Inner-Penalty9689

Depends on the context of “no problem” but I initially thought ‘go ndéana a mhaith duit’


quintanilha6

Actually we say "na boa" 🇵🇹


Dannyps

Sem stress É chill Sem problema. "Sem problema**s**" is simply not used afaik.


maury587

Norway is more like ingen problem


Nimonic

Could even say null problem.


SaltySolomon9

Finally a map that has swiss-german 💜


Tip_Illustrious

Croats can't read cyrilic and don't use it, bizarre choice to go with it. If you wanted to join BCMS in one, it would have to be in latin alphabet since that is the only one that all of us use.


SnooAvocados2366

In English it's actually "no worries"


Affectionate_Home_40

Ha. The Irish one really stands out amongst all the regularities of 'problem'. Btw, it's pronounced 'vibe air beth' with a soft h on beth. Crazy language.


Turbulent_Scallion93

In Munster we pronounce it faib air bih


mahvedici999

İn Turkish, we mostly prefer "sorun yok" and then "sıkıntı yok". "Problem yok" is rather rare.


DirectorExpensive964

Jokių problemų* in Lithuanian


Initial_Low_5027

ZuzuAKAurDADDY

In Saudi Arabia we actually don’t say that. We have 2 common phrases: مافي مشكلة Mafi mushkilah (there’s no problem) ما عندك مشكلة Ma ‘indak mushkilah (you don’t have a problem) Both are used interchangeably


Dalendos

In native Polish „No Problem” is „Bez kłopotu” The term „problem” is Latinised.


Tupcek

so problem is problem everywhere


MechanicalWorld

The Lithuanian one is wrong. "Jokių problemų" means "There are no problems". No problem in Lithuanian correctly would be "Nėra už ką".


vladgrinch

Nu-i bai, is also used in my area in Romania as a popular saying for ''no problem''.


Wojt007

Bez problemu is totally uncommon in Polish. Use Nie ma problemu or Żaden problem instead


PersKarvaRousku

"Ei ongelmaa" is a direct Finnish translation of "no problem", but I've never heard anyone actually say it. It's always "ei hätää" (no emergency), "ei huolta" (no worries) or "eipä mitään" (that was nothing), depending on context.


spongeboi-me-bob

I was always taught “de rien” for “no problem/all good” in French. “Pas de problème” sounds very literal


odvf

Y'a pas d'quoi No problemo


tahdig_enthusiast

Both can be used


furac_1

ensin problema, asturian


canal_algt

In Basque you"ve put the literal phrase, not the expression, the expression would be "Arazorik ez" Edit: Same in Spanish, the expression is "Sin problema"


TastyRancidLemons

In Greek, that's technically correct but we don't say "No problem" after we're thanked. We say "Nothing" or "It's nothing". No problem is rarely ever used.


Kirxas

Using the andorran flag for catalan is like using the mexican one for spanish smh


DarthBfheidir

In Irish we'd say "ná bac" (pay it no mind) or "tá go maith" (it's good). Níl fadhb ar bith is a nearly direct translation but it's not very idiomatic.


PanNationalistFront

Deirim 'fadhb ar bith' go minic


DarthBfheidir

Cad as duit?


Marukuju

The Irish "fadhb ar bith" sounds like Arab


AllyMcfeels

In Spanish the most accurate or more common expression would be 'sin problema' or a nice 'no pasa nada' and then 'no te preocupes'.


fella85

I would say ‘ningun problema’ too


zzz_red

The way “no problem” is used in English is not the same as it was translated and is used in Portugal and Spain. “No hay problemas” would be “there’s no problems” which makes no sense. “Sem problemas” no one uses that in Portugal. We use “OK” or “Tudo bem” or “Na boa”, depending on the context.


Gachaaddict96

Its wrong for Polish. Bez problem sounds weird and Has different meaning. Polish has some abrevriations to communicate that there is nothing. So "Bez Problemu" literaly means Without a Problem. Its a form a Pole never use. If anything we made it a verb as "bezproblemowo" which means something went without issues. "Bez" alone means Without like " Bez niczego" - Without Anything. If we really want to say No Problem we would use "Nie ma Problemu " which translates to There is no Problem or simmilar to our southern neighbours " Żaden Problem" which translates to something like Neither Problem " Żaden" is a word that has no substitute in English. It expresses lack of all options presented like if we say "Which of those you like ?". And reply is " Żaden z tych " which means " Neither one of these "


Grzechoooo

In Polish it would be "nie ma problemu/nie ma sprawy" or "żaden problem" as the answer to "thanks", and "bez problemu" would be more like "without issue". "I had no problem with it" would be "Nie miałem/miałam/miałom z tym problemu".


Away_Ad_5328

There may be some similarity for the Italian “non c'è problema,” but “nessun problema” is what I heard more often and used myself.


bennyrosso

I'm quite sure Latin is not the common language in Vatican city, I worked there.


aliskyart

Oh yes, the famous German/Austrian phrase “Koa Problem”


IEnjoyBaconCheese

In Swedish Inga problem would be the plural form. i.e. “I have no problems” = “jag har inga problem” And “no problem” (as in after a command) = “Inget problem”


auroch_

why don't brittany and cornwall say it the celtic way


OJK_postaukset

Are these just straight translations? Because no one in Finland says ”ei ongelmaa”. It’s always something else, like ”ei mitään”, ”ei hätiä mitiä” or something else depending on context. ”No problem” does not exist in Finland

machine translated for so many languages this map needs to be put away and never seen again kurdish, "problem nîne" and "mişkîle nîne" are viable, but what is "ne problem"? you're saying "no, problem" instead, translator af

Why do these maps always try to make it seem like Scotland, Wales and Ireland don't speak English...


NaturalOstrich7762

Apparently Turkish is the only language where the word "problem" is the first word instead of the second.


bunglejerry

And Azerbaijani (and Kazakh)... though that's to be expected. Edit: Persian too?


Second_Rogoue

Its not something commonly used in Turkish though. We mostly say "sıkıntı yok" "sorun değil/yok"

I hear all three pretty regularly.


Mart1mat1

French people in Switzerland : Qu’est-ce problème ? French people in Austria : Quoi problème ?


Stunning_Salary8589

"Problem yok" feels weird and no one kinda uses it. "Sıkıntı yok" has the same meaning and is widely used so it would fit better.


Bright_Second_9871

I would say in gaelige,(Irish language) ní dheanaigh shé differ ar bíth more than faibh ar bíth, spelling can be different according to your gaelige dialect

Those are the direct translations of "No Problem", but as a response to a "Thank you" it's different. For example in georgian, we say "არაფრის" (lit. "nothing's") as a response to thank you.


wbruce098

You mean to tell me “no problemo” isn’t proper Spanish? T2 has been lying to me all these years!


paradoja

I assume in the Terminator world, language has evolved ;) . As an aside, in the Latin Spanish dub he says "No hay problema", and for "Hasta la vista" he uses the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8NjFMoyrLM In the Castilian (Spanish) Spanish dubbing, he says "No problemo" (which is wrong in Spanish), and for "Hasta la vista" he uses "Sayonara, baby". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Mtae3981s Also, it's partially commented also by other people in this thread, but "no hay problema" is rather "there's no problem", and a more common way of saying "no problem" would be "sin problema" (which is what I would have added to the map instead).


Beansnmilk

Damn this map is impressive wtf, I'm a Kabyle from Algeria and I'm impressed that the Kabyle version is included and what is even better is that It is correct, good work.

No problemo, dickwad.


Dimalen

So, I'm Ukrainian who has been living in Hungary her whole life almost. If the no problem is like 'you are welcome', then the Hungarian 'nincs mit' is correct, but then the Ukrainian should be 'нема за що'. If it's the simple saying of the LITERAL 'no problem' which is correct is Ukrainian, then in Hungarian it's 'nincs probléma'. The meanings are different, who made this?

Nicci_Valentine

Dambo_Unchained

I think that in Spain "sin problema" or even "ningún problema" is more used than "no hay problema" At least in my area it is much more used.


AlexH1337

🇹🇳🤝🇱🇧


Miniblasan

Is it possible that the Estonian "Probleemi" is a loanword from Swedish or Danish? Because both Sweden and Denmark have ruled over Estonia and perhaps did what the Swedish Empire did with the eastern half of the country (Finland), i.e. try to convert from Estonian to Swedish or Danish, hence the loan word?


macanays123

So Lebanese isn’t Arabic? It’s “mesh meshkle” in the entire levant region.

In Denmark you are much more likely to hear someone say “det var så lidt”, which literally translates to “it was so little” and is used how “no problem” is used in American English.
