hello everyone, I would like to know what the difference is between saying something is "ok/don't worry about it/etc" by using 『大丈夫』 VS 『もういいよ』.I've heard both used, but i feel they are different.Can anyone explain?thank you!^^

Just trying to explain through examples:
(You are walking with your friend and he/she stumbles) - Kega shinakatta? (Did you not hurt yourself?) - Daijoubu (I'm OK/I've got no problem.)
(You are having coffee with your friend and you accidentally knock over her/his coffee cup.) - Gomennasai! (I'm sorry.) - Daijoubu. (No problem/no damage done) - Hontou ni gomennasai, gomennasai!! (I'm really sorry, sorry!) - Mou ii yo. (You've said enough/no sweat/enough said.) "Mou ii yo" is literally "It's already enough" = "enough said," "what's gone is gone," etc., so "no problem" in that sense...
