When you want to express concern or worry about someone’s well-being or a particular situation, it’s important to be able to convey your feelings in Japanese. Here are a few phrases you can use to say “I’m worried”:
- 心配しています (Shinpai shiteimasu) This phrase translates to “I’m worried.” It directly expresses your concern for someone or a situation.

- 心配してるよ (Shinpai shiteru yo) This is a more casual and informal way to express your worry. It can be used with close friends or family members.

- 心配ですね (Shinpai desu ne) This phrase can be used to express shared concern or to empathize with someone else’s worry.
