When to use 犯不着 and 犯得着 for “It’s Not Worth It”

犯不着 and 犯得着 are colloquial verbs that judge whether an action is worth the trouble. 犯不着 + verb phrase means “it’s not worth …, there’s no need to …”: 为这点小事犯不着生气. 犯得着 is almost always used in a rhetorical question, 犯得着…吗？, which also means “it’s not worth it”: 犯得着为这点小事生气吗？ The thing that is not worth it is usually a strong reaction or extra effort (getting angry, worrying, travelling far). Both are written with neutral 不 and 得 in the middle.

It’s not worth getting angry over such a small thing; we’re all good friends.

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย

  • Don’t use 犯得着 in a plain statement; it belongs in a rhetorical question: 犯得着…吗？
  • 犯不着 only gives a negative judgement; for “worth seeing” use 值得, not 犯得着.
  • These are casual words; in a formal report write 没有必要 instead.
