pas de souci / pas de soucis

[Slim Harpo]

Bonjour,

I wonder if "pas de souci" is used the way "no worries" is used in English (AE). In English we can say "No worries" as a quick simple statement -- which is another way of saying "Don't worry about it" (but you might say it has a lighter or softer touch.)

Merci beaucoup de votre aide

That's correct. "Pas de soucis" or "Pas de problème" is used in the same way than "No worries".

I use 'pas de souci" for 'no worries' and 'don't worry about it'.

But then I'm not a native!

That's right, 'pas de souci' is quite common.

I may depend on the context, but for me, "pas de souci" means "no problem" like in:
- could you do this for me ?
- ok, no problem

Merci à tous!

A common expression is also "no souci" pronounced No soos-eye!

NO SOUCI? that's not french, as NO doesn't exist in french.

It is not proper french indeed. But I guess Topsie is right in the sense that this is actually a much used locution in France which has been poularised in the nineties when young people would try to be trendy by using some pseudo-americanized expressions.
Topsie's comment might be useful to those who might come to read this expression in some french people posts/comments.
