大丈夫だよ (daijoubu da yo - it's okay, more casual)
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase combines the adjective-like noun (or な-adjective stem) 大丈夫 (daijoubu) meaning 'okay/alright', with the plain form copula だ (da), and the casual sentence-ending particle よ (yo). よ adds emphasis or informs the listener of something they might not know, softening the statement in this context to sound reassuring.
Sample sentences

「手伝おうか?」「いいえ、大丈夫だよ。」
"Shall I help?" "No, I'm okay."
