So some nice informal ways to say, you're welcome in English
Don't mention it
Don't mention it meaning it was nothing. Don't worry. You don't even have to say thank you
Don't mention it. No worries
No worries. I was happy to help not a problem
Not a problem. My pleasure. It was my pleasure to help you. Ah
It was nothing. I'm happy to help. I'm happy to help
So you can see how some of these expressions work really well together. You can actually put them as one phrase
Don't mention it. I'm happy to help not at all
Not at all
It was nothing
anytime
Don't mention it
Anytime meaning any time. I'm happy to help it was no bother it was no bother
Bother is actually a little bit more formal way of saying no problem. It was no bother
Meaning it wasn't a problem for me to help or to do whatever I did. That means you're thankful
It's nothing think nothing of it. It's nothing
Think nothing of it. Sure
Sure, no worries
chuffing
Sure thing. So these are really common expressions of
responding to thanks to say that you were happy to help somebody or
Whatever you did you were happy to do it
Now in more formal situations we could use some other expressions and of course in formal situations
You're less likely to contract your words as much. So for example, it wasn't a problem
It was my pleasure to help. It was not a problem at all. I was happy to be of assistance
I was happy to be of assistance
so obviously in more formal situations you could use slightly longer expressions and
Remember not to contract your words, so instead of saying
No worries
No problem. You could say
The pleasure was all mine. The pleasure was all mine. I was happy to help. You're most welcome
You are most welcome
There you probably could contract you are it's the most so that makes it sound a little bit more formal. You're most welcome
It was no trouble at all. It was no trouble at all
No need to thank me
No need to thank me. And there we go
plenty of expressions to respond to thanks so you don't need to use your
Welcome at all or very little you're most welcome. You're technically using exactly those words. But hey
Thank you so much for watching and don't forget. There's plenty more where that came from
