Oh, thanks, Steve.
This is great.
I needed a new marker.
I really appreciate this.
Thank you so much.
You don't know how to say: "You're welcome"?
Well, it's a good reason we're here today, then.
Hey, everyone.
I'm Alex.
Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on:
"17 Ways to Say 'You're Welcome'".
Yes, after "Thank you", everyone knows you can say: "You're welcome", but there's more
than one way to do this.
I have thought of 17.
So, let's go through them one by one.
Of course, the first one which we have already said, which is in the title to the video, is:
"You're welcome."
Now, if you want to add a little more intensity to your "You're welcome", you could add an adverb.
Now, some of the most common adverbs to this are:
"You're very welcome.",
"You're quite welcome.",
"You are truly welcome."
And again, this is if you want to add a little bit more formality, a little bit more intensity
to your "You're welcome."
If you want to show that you are truly, truly welcome, you want to say: "You're welcome"
to the person a lot, you could say: "You're quite welcome."
Okay.
Next we have: "No problem.", "Not a problem.", "No problem-o.", "Any time."
This is a very casual, informal way to say: "You're welcome", where you want to say:
"That's okay, that's okay."
So, repeat after me: "No problem.",
"Not a problem.",
"No problem-o.",
"Any time."
"Any time", of course means: "You don't have to say thank you.
I would do this any time, any time at all."
Now, next we have: "Don't mention it.", "Don't worry about it.", "No worries."
Basically: "You don't have to say thank you.
It's okay."
So, we have: "Don't mention it", meaning, like, don't talk about it ever.
Don't say thank you.
You don't have to say thank you.
It's not necessary to say thank you.
It's very casual.
Now, you can also say: "Don't worry about it."
And you can say: "No worries."
All three of these, it's a very, very similar meaning, very similar informal level
of "You're welcome."
And another one: "Ah, it's nothing.", "It was nothing."
So, for example, Steve gave me this marker.
He probably paid not a lot of money for this marker, but it's the thought that counts.
It's the thought that counts for this one.
But, you know, if I say: "Thanks, Steve."
he can say: "Ah, it was nothing."
It's a small, little thing. Okay?
So you can say: "It's nothing."
in the present or: "It was nothing."
if the action happened in the past, which, you know, typically it did.
Next, you have: "With pleasure."
or "My pleasure."
So this is a little bit more formal, a more formal way to say: "You're welcome."
So, if someone says, you know:
"Thank you for this very thoughtful birthday gift.",
or "Thank you for helping me look for a new house.",
or something like this, and you can say: "With pleasure.",
or "It was my pleasure.",
or "It's my pleasure.",
or just "My pleasure."
Okay?
All right, so we have these ones here.
We're going to move over to this side of the board, and these are a little bit more interesting,
a little bit longer ways to say: "You're welcome", where you're not saying: "You're welcome" exactly.
But if someone says: "Ah, thanks. Thank you."
you can say: "Anything for you."
That I would do anything for that person.
Now, you know, you might say: "Anything for the team."
if, you know, you bought pizza for your soccer team, for example.
Or: "Anything for the company."
Very few people probably say that, but you could say: "Anything for the company.",
"Anything for the team.", "Anything for you.",
"Hey, anything for Gerald", or "Anything for Martha."
You know? If you're helping a friend.
And similar, you can say:
"Anything to make you (or him, or her) happy", or "smile".
Or this is very bad if you're...
Want to be like, you know, really stick it to someone and you can say:
"Anything to make him suffer."
It's not really a positive way to say: "You're welcome", but if they say:
-"Thanks for, you know, taking care of that bad situation and thanks for making him cry."
you can say: "Anything to make him suffer" or "her suffer".
That's a terrible, terrible thing.
Don't... Don't do that. Please don't do that.
You know, say: "Hey, anything to make mom smile.",
"Anything to make, you know, your cousin happy."
Something like that, that's a nice way to say: "You're welcome." Use those.
Next, so imagine that, you know, your friend has a birthday party and you helped to organize
it, you helped to buy the balloons, or you helped to put together the tables, or you
made the cake, and they say: "Thank you so much for helping with the party."
You can say: "I'm happy to help."
or: "I was happy to help.", "Don't mention it.
I was happy to help."
Okay, next one.
Here we have in the States... Oh, I'm going to...
I erased this with my jacket a little bit, so I'll add some purple to it.
In some parts of the United States, like I've heard in Michigan or Colorado, some people
instead of saying: "You're welcome" will just say: "Uh-huh."
It's weird to me, but some people do say it.
So, just repeat after me: "Uh-huh."
It's easy. Right?
So if someone says: "Hey, thanks for the gift.", "Hey, thanks for your help."
you can say: "Uh-huh." if you're in Michigan or Colorado and other parts of the US.
I would probably stick to, like: "Don't worry about it.", "No problem.",
"Don't mention it.", "It was nothing."
And finally...
Again, my jacket keeps rubbing out these words.
I'm really sorry, guys.
So: "Don't mention it.
You would have done the same for me."
So, this means that: "Hey, you don't have to say thank you.
I know that if you were in my situation you would have done the same thing for me."
All right, so before we finish this let's just quickly repeat these phrases.
And you can just repeat after me so that we know how to say these 17 ways to say:
"You're welcome."
Here we go.
"You're welcome.",
"You're very welcome.",
"No problem.",
"Not a problem.",
"No problem-o.",
"Any time.",
"Don't mention it.",
"Don't worry about it.",
"No worries.",
"It was nothing."
Are you using the intonation I'm using?
That's important, too.
"With pleasure.",
"It was my pleasure.",
"Anything for you.",
"Anything to make him smile.",
"I was happy to help.",
"Uh-huh.",
"You would have done the same for me."
Perfect.
