Perhaps someone is worried about something and you want to assure him\/her that everything will be fine by God\u2019s help and protection, you would say \u201c\u062e\u064e\u064a\u0631 \u0625\u0646 \u0634\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

It could also be used as a question to ask, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d if someone mentions something worrisome. Or, \u201cI hope it’s nothing bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps you are waiting for news, you can say \u201c\u062e\u064e\u064a\u0631 \u0625\u0646 \u0634\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647<\/strong>\u201d to mean \u201cAny good news?\u201d.<\/p>\n
