@studiousboy Those are okay, but “good” and “fine” are a lot more common.

No, “you’re good” is a common expression that people use when someone else apologizes. It’s just an acknowledgment of their apology and is supposed to let the other person know that you’re not bothered or offended. It’s similar to “no worries”/“don’t worry about it”, “that’s okay”, and “you’re fine”.

@bsloan7 So I totally got it wrong. I thought Tom liked Sarah bumping him. 😂 Thank you! Can I replace “good” with “alright” / “okay”?
You’re [alright/okay].
You’re [alright/okay].

@bsloan7 Ok. What if I started the sentence with “that”? Would “alright”/“okay”/“fine”/“good” be common?
That’s [alright/okay/fine/good].
That’s [alright/okay/fine/good].
- English (US)
@studiousboy No, only “that’s okay” and “that’s alright” are common. “That’s good” makes it sound like you enjoyed whatever the person did. “That’s fine” is used when someone is agreeing with or is indifferent towards a decision that was made.
