What does NP mean?

NP = No Problem

Short for “no problem” — a casual reply that means “you’re welcome” or “it’s fine”.

NP is a two-letter way of saying “no problem” — the casual equivalent of “you’re welcome”. It’s used in DMs, work chats and SMS to wave off a thank-you or to confirm that a small request isn’t a hassle.

Some readers find a bare “np” dismissive, especially from a business or a colleague. If warmth matters, “np, happy to help” or “np at all” land much better.

It’s overwhelmingly lowercase and rarely punctuated.
