That’s all right. Not at all. Never mind. Forget it. You needn’t apologize. It’s my fault. No trouble at all.
No harm done. No offence |
Все в порядке. Нисколько (совсем нет). Пусть это вас не беспокоит. Забудьте это (не думайте об этом). Не стоит извиняться. Это моя вина. Да что вы, какое же это беспокойство! Ничего страшного. Я не обиделся.

Get it right
When used as an apology or to attract someone's attention, the remarks Excuse me or Pardon me are pronounced with falling intonation. When pronounced with the rising intonation, they express a request to repeat the remark.
