How do you reply when people say "Thank you"?

[Williamyh]

Hi All,

I want to know how do you reply when people say "Thank you". In my country, we just reply "You're welcome", except "You're welcome" what you would say in your country?

WYH...

 

[sophie hannon]

i would either say...

you're welcome

or

no problem

no problem

"No problem" is also using in UK? I thought "No problem" is only in US.

 

[Vicky liu]

We say“不用谢”;-)

 

[euncu]

Not at all

or

Don't mention it

- You are welcome.
- It was my pleasure.
- You're more than welcome.
- It was the least I could do.
- It was nothing.
- My pleasure.
- Don't mention it.
- Any time.
- No big deal.

There are many words which we use in reply if thank you. Just like

You are welcome.

It was my pleasure.

It was nothing.

My pleasure.

Any time.
These are the most common words for Thank you reply.

"You're entirely welcome"

From Sue Grafton's novel "N is for Noose" (AmE).

Excuse me while I drag over my little soapbox, but I find "no problem" to be SO ungracious. I would love for this to disappear as a response to thanks.

"Oh, you don't have to thank me, it was my pleasure"

If you are female you can say:

"oh...you're so sweet."
"you're welcome, sweetie/darling.."

 

[seie]

I would usually say

- That's fine

or

- That's all right

De nada.

Disponha !

 

[ac.lepioc]

Hello! I simply say It's alright! ;-)

Answering "no problem" is informal, but many ESL student are looking to improve their informal English. Other informal responses would be "don'r worry about it" or "don't mention it".

Yep. "Don't mention it" is another one commonly used.

 

[zayck]

I usually say :

It's okay
No problem
You'r welcome

"Thank you!"

Naturally it highly depends on the situation and on the context, but you may reply "thank you" to "thank you."

Recently, in an interview on CBS, Dr. Jenn Berman, after hesitating for about one second, replied "thank you" to the anchor's "thank you very much."

Sometimes I hear people say "Yeah" to reply the "Thank you", is it correct?
