Transliteration of "Méi shì" Hi! My book says that "Méi shì" means "it's nothing/don't worry/no problem". My question is, what is the literal meaning of "Méi shì"? Is this "shì" the verb "to be"? Thanks!

the translation of MEI SHI is it's not a problem / don't matter , and its writes like this 没事,the verb to be is 是。 So you can see that there are absolutely 2 different hieroglyphs.

it's not the verb "to be" the two words used are “no for have” 没 and "matter, activity" 事 Méi shì = 没事

Mei means no/ have not. Shi doesn't mean to be. It means things including matter/body/many things. when someone ask you Are you Ok? ,you can say MeiShi ,which means iam Ok. When someone say sorry,you sayMeiShi means it doesnt matter. I hope it's useful:)

Méi shì 没事 or more commonly in northern China, méi shìr /mei ʂɚ/ 没事儿. Literally méi means 'there is not' (exactly, here in the phrase 'méi shìr' it means 'there will not be'), 'shìr' means 'mishap'. 'shì‘事sometimes means 'trouble', in the colloquial saying '你摊上事儿啦 Nǐ tānshang shìr la' (which was also the title of a comic sketch among a Spring Festival (entertainment) show on CCTV) means 'You'll be in (great) trouble'. Another meaning of ‘méi shì 没事' or 'méi shìr /mei ʂɚ/ 没事儿' is 'have no work/task having to be done', here shì事 means 'business, work'. ------- 你明天上午有事吗

no , questa shi vuol dire cosa , letteralmente mei shi = nessuna/niente cosa quindi la puoi capire come non e' successo niente , tutto a posto.
