it's alright
Things are okay
It's alright is a casual reassurance or expression of acceptance, equivalent to "it's okay" or "don't worry about it." Someone apologizes, and you respond It's alright, no harm done.
The phrase can also signal resigned acceptance: The food wasn't great, but it's alright.
Alright is a less formal spelling of "all right," which some consider more correct.
