Don't worry

How to translate: "don't worry"?
Rä'ä lu ngar sngum.
or
Ke livu ngar snum.
?

I think with ke. Imo, rä'ä should be used only when you want that a person does not do something, but here nga does not anyway.

The "sngum" does instead. So if we can order a worry to do sth, why not?

We also have: Ngari txe'lan mawey livu.

Oh, forgot, thx. But still I'm interested in literal translation.

I understand.

Or for other contexts, na Tsu'tey: txopu rä'ä si!

I agree with Kemaweyan, ke seems to be the best choice here. Literal translation would be something like there would not be worry to you.

Byt it means: Don't fear.
