Questions & Answers about Det går nok, du skal ikke være nervøs.

What does det går nok mean literally, and why doesn’t it match the English wording exactly?

Literally, det går nok is something like it goes probably / it will go fine.

But in real Danish, it usually means:

• it’ll be fine
• it’ll work out
• don’t worry, it’s okay

This is a very common kind of expression where the literal words do not match the natural English meaning.

• det = it
• går = goes
• nok = probably / surely / likely

Together, the phrase has a reassuring tone. It is something you say to calm someone down.
