  • Kein Problem: A staple phrase meaning "No problem." Kein is the negative article used with masculine (der) and neuter (das) nouns in the nominative case (das Problem -> kein Problem).
  • Immer noch: An adverbial phrase meaning "still" or "even now," combining immer (always/ever) and noch (still).

    • „Das macht mir gar nichts aus.“ (That doesn't bother me at all.)
    • „Passt schon.“ (It's fine / No worries.)
