これらはいずれも同じ意味、同じ状況で使えるのでしょうか?
もし異なるのであれば、違いを教えてもらえますか?
A: @0_1



「It’s not a big deal.」 = it's not important
「Don't worry about it」 = Don't be stressed
「No worry」 = No worries (correct)
「Couldn't care less」 = indifferent behavior


「It’s not a big deal.」 = it's not important


a big deal = a big problem or a major event We use it very often in a negatively phrased way, i.e., "It's not a big deal." Examples: "I'm sorry, Mom. I spilled wine on your sweater." "Don't worry. It's not a big deal. Your Aunt Trudy gave me that sweater for my birthday, and I've never liked it." "I'm so nervous.

「Don't worry about it」 = Don't be stressed

Don't worry about it is similar to 「It’s not a big deal / never mind / it's nothing

「No worry」(wrong) = No worries (correct)

This is one of the responsesto "thank you"

「Couldn't care less」 = indifferent behavior
When to use:


Answer
If you say you "couldn't care less" about something, it means you do not care about it at all. You cannot care less than you do. Below are some examples of how the phrase is used:

Sherry couldn't care less what restaurant they go to. [=she does not care at all what restaurant they go to]
The man said he couldn't care less who his children marry as long as they are happy. [=he does not care who his children marry. He only cares that they are happy]


Sometimes you will hear people say "could care less" in the same way. Below are some examples of this:

I could care less if you leave.
She can order whatever she wants; her date could care less.


English teachers and grammarians will say that "could care less" is wrong because it should mean the opposite of "couldn't care less." Logically, if you could care less, it means you do care some. But in informal speech people often use "could care less" to mean they don’t care at all.



"Couldn’t care less" and "could care less" are both used to mean someone doesn’t care at all, but English teachers and grammarians will say that only "couldn't care less" is correct, so that is what you should use in formal or academic writing.
