×就是了 — “just …”, reassuring
Pattern: … + 就是了
就是了 at the end of a spoken sentence makes it firm and reassuring: 你放心，我一定去就是了 “don’t worry, I’ll definitely go”. 有问题问我就是了 — “if there’s a problem, just ask me”.
Examples
| 1 | 你放心，我一定去就是了。 nǐ fàngxīn wǒ yídìng qù jiùshì le Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go. |
| 2 | 有问题问我就是了。 yǒu wèntí wèn wǒ jiùshì le If there’s a problem, just ask me. |
| 3 | 不想去就别去了，在家休息就是了。 bù xiǎng qù jiù bié qù le zàijiā xiūxi jiùshì le If you don’t want to go, don’t — just rest at home. |
