Chinta Mat Kijiye: Telling Someone Not to Worry
Launch library · evergreen read
चिंता मत कीजिये (chinta mat kijiye) means please do not worry, a reassuring phrase built from chinta, worry, and the polite negative command mat kijiye. It is offered generously in Hindi conversation whenever someone seems anxious or unsettled. The phrase is often followed by a simple explanation or promise.
Sab theek ho jaayega, everything will be fine, to give the reassurance some real weight rather than leaving it as an empty comfort. Learners can use chinta mat kijiye to offer genuine comfort to a friend or family member. It pairs well with a calm, steady tone, since the words alone carry only part of the reassurance being offered.
A useful related phrase is fikar mat karo, a slightly more casual synonym for worry, often used among close friends rather than in more formal situations. Knowing both fikar and chinta gives a learner flexibility across different levels of familiarity. Repeating the reassurance calmly a second time, rather than moving on too quickly, often helps it land with real, settling effect.
