Reminds me of "it doesn't matter" in my second language English class. We all said together as a class "it's not grave" when asked what we thought "ce n'est pas grave" was in English.

The worst part is that technically isn't incorrect in English. Conversationally, most people might take a second, but grave does also mean serious

Absolutely if someone said "it's not grave" to me I would understand it to mean "it's not serious" or "it's not very important"

It could be a grave misunderstanding
