不好意思: 怎么回答？

[doumeizhen]

不好意思。

It seems my group of friends is overly polite and are close to abusing "不好意思"， and if It weren't for the fact that they tend to do it over the phone, I would pinch them. Instead, I need a response that says: Don't be 不好意思。(or else...) Of course, I reailze its a cultural thing to say 不好意思 and I promise I will only use any information given in the rarest of occasions. So, with that in mind:

I was once told that you can say: 没有这个意思 or 没有什么意思。And then I was told that this was wrong by someone else.

Any suggestions?

standard responses:

不好意思 excuse me. 什么事？yes?

不好意思 sorry. 没关系。that's ok.

不好意思 thank you. 没关系。no problem / 不要不好意思，应该的。it's my pleasure/it's my job.

I am not sure what you need. But usually the response is 沒關係, though this may not be what you want.

If you want to express "Don't be 不好意思", you can say 没什么不好意思的 or 别那么客气。

Yup! That's what I wanted to know. Basically for those people who are 太不好意思 and use the saying all the time...

Thank you!

You are welcome. I'm glad that you got what you wanted.
