Using 没关系
关系 means “relation; bearing”, so 没关系 says the mishap “has no relation/consequence” — in plain English, it's okay. It is the automatic partner of 对不起: one child apologizes, the other answers 没关系. Parents also use it to comfort: 没关系，再试一次 (“it's okay, try again”).
In Traditional Chinese it is 沒關係 — 没→沒 and 关→關. In relaxed speech the last syllable lightens (“méi guān xi”), but the written tones are méi guān xì. For encouragement after a mistake, 没关系 pairs beautifully with 加油: “It's okay — you can do it!”
