Tentang なくてもいい

なくてもいい is simply the opposite of てもいい, and highlights that it is 'ok even if (A) is not done'. This usually comes across as being quite polite, and sounds like 'don't worry about doing (A)' in English.

なくてもいい is a combination of the auxiliary verb ない in its conjunction form, with てもいい.

In order to make this phrase sound even more casual, the adverbial particle may be omitted. This does not change the nuance at all, but will sound a bit more friendly (when used with people that you know well).

        Question - why do we use verb+なくてもいい, and not verb+ないでもいい (like ないでください)? Is ないでもいい even correct grammar? Would it have a different meaning?

        Just by convention, I think. ないでもいい has the same meaning and is correct enough to appear in some dictionaries* and in literature. But it’s rare enough that a native speaker might call it wrong. On the other hand, nobody would call なくてもいい wrong.

        * E.g. the 日本語文型辞典 has an entry on ないでもよい

        Hey @packie11 !

        Verb+なくてもいい is grammatically correct (Correct Japanese). Verb+ないでもいい is technically not correct, but it is commonly used in everyday conversations. Even though verb+ないでもいい is commonly used, because verb+なくてもいい is the one that is considered ‘correct’, it would be better to use verb+なくてもいい in writing and in conversations with people that are not your peers.
