Bare rolig. Pyt med det. Det går nok.

Here bare means just or simply.

So Bare rolig is literally something like Just calm or Just relaxed, but in natural English it is more like:

• Don’t worry
• Just relax
• Take it easy

In Danish, bare is very commonly used to soften or simplify what is being said.

Danish often leaves out words in short everyday expressions.

• Vær rolig literally means be calm
• Bare rolig is a shorter, more idiomatic version

A native speaker will very naturally say Bare rolig in conversation. It sounds smooth and reassuring. Using Vær rolig is possible, but it can sound a bit more direct, and sometimes even slightly commanding depending on tone.

So:

• Bare rolig = very common, natural, comforting
• Vær rolig = grammatically clear, but less idiomatic in this exact comforting use

Rolig usually means:

• calm
• quiet
• relaxed

In Bare rolig, it means something like calm or not worried.

Be aware that rolig does not always match English funny or exciting ideas around relax. It is more about emotional calmness or quietness.

Yes, pyt is a very real and very Danish word, but it is a bit special.

It is an interjection: a small standalone word people use to mean things like:

• never mind
• oh well
• let it go
• no big deal

It is often used when something minor has gone wrong and you want to move on instead of making a big issue out of it.

This word is famous in Danish culture because it reflects an attitude of not stressing too much over small problems.

Pyt med det is an idiomatic expression.

A word-for-word breakdown is roughly:

• Pyt = never mind / oh well
• med = with / about
• det = it / that

So the whole phrase means something like:

• Never mind that
• Don’t worry about it
• Forget about it

You should treat it mostly as a fixed expression rather than trying to translate each word too literally.

In both cases, det means it or that.

It usually refers to:

• the problem
• the mistake
• the situation
• whatever was just mentioned

So if someone spilled coffee, forgot something, or made a small error, det refers to that event.

Danish uses det very often in this general way, just like English uses it.

Literally, Det går nok is something like It goes probably or It goes okay, but that sounds strange in English.

In Danish, gå often appears in expressions about how things are going or turning out.

So Det går nok means:

• It’ll be okay
• It’ll probably work out
• Things will likely be fine

The verb går here is not about physically walking. It is about the course or outcome of a situation.

Compare:

• Hvordan går det? = How’s it going?
• Det går godt. = It’s going well.

Yes, nok can mean enough, but in this sentence it means probably or I’m sure it’ll be fine.

That is a very common thing in Danish: one word can have different meanings depending on context.

Examples:

• Der er nok mad. = There is enough food.
• Han kommer nok senere. = He’ll probably come later.
• Det går nok. = It’ll probably be fine.

So in Det går nok, nok expresses reassurance and likelihood, not quantity.

They are mostly informal to neutral and very common in everyday spoken Danish.

• Bare rolig = natural in conversation
• Pyt med det = especially conversational and informal
• Det går nok = very common spoken reassurance

You can use them with friends, family, classmates, coworkers, and often even strangers in casual situations.

However, Pyt med det can sometimes sound a little too casual in a very serious or formal context. For example, if someone is talking about a major problem, saying Pyt med det might sound dismissive.

Yes, especially Pyt med det.

These expressions are comforting when the issue is small or manageable. But if the other person is very upset, stressed, or talking about something serious, they might feel that you are minimizing their feelings.

For example:

• If someone drops a pen: Pyt med det sounds fine.
• If someone loses their job: Pyt med det would likely sound insensitive.

Bare rolig and Det går nok can also sound a little too easy if the situation is genuinely serious.

So the tone and context matter a lot.

Yes, you can use them together, and it sounds natural as a string of reassurance.

Each part adds a slightly different shade:

• Bare rolig. = calm down / don’t worry
• Pyt med det. = let it go / it’s no big deal
• Det går nok. = it’ll probably turn out fine

So together they build a comforting message rather than sounding oddly repetitive.

A rough guide for an English speaker:

• Bare rolig ≈ BAH-ruh ROH-lee
• Pyt med det ≈ PYD med deh
• Det går nok ≈ deh GOR nok

A few notes:

• r in Danish is different from English r
• final consonants are often softer than English learners expect
• det is often pronounced more like deh in normal speech
• rolig is not pronounced exactly as it looks to an English speaker

If you want to sound natural, listen carefully to native audio, because Danish pronunciation is much less phonetic than the spelling suggests.

Yes, they are very close, and both are common.

• Det går nok = It’ll probably be fine
• Det skal nok gå = It’ll work out / It’ll be okay

Det skal nok gå often sounds a little more explicitly future-oriented and encouraging.
Det går nok is shorter and very natural in everyday reassurance.

Both are good to know.
