When someone tells you "Thank you", how do you reply? I typically say "You're welcome".

I either say no problem or yeppers. Unless it is to my 3yr old who corrects me and tells me to say 'your welcome'.

Most of the time I say "you're welcome" but I do say the other answers -depending on the situation, the person and the relationship I want to achieve.
Interestingly here, they often use a phrase that translates "Think nothing of it," similar to our "no problem" response.Hank Lee

Usually it's "You're welcome" except I've noticed that I usually reply "It's my pleasure" when the parent of one of my students thanks me.
The one that drives me crazy is "Uhhuh" as if I was obligated to thank the person. Argh!

My reply depends on what they are thanking me for.Comment

I picked "Other", because it can be "You're welcome", "No problem", "My pleasure", or something else, depending on who, what, and where.-JoeComment

It depends a lot on your relationship with the person. The most formal answer is you're welcome or you're very welcome. Like for a social acquaintance, a customer, or your boss's boss.
A very close friend, of the same sex (male) we could get away with "no problem", "any time", or even a dismissive wave of the hand.
"Yep" is clearly not right - "Thank you" is not a yes or no question
and "That's OK" also seems inappropriate because thanks is not an apology.
"Thank you" is a piece of social ettiquette that requires a positive acknowledgement (not "duh") and the most polite of all, a brief comment to the fact that you would do it all again for them, with pleasure taken in doing it.Last edited by LCHIEN; 10-19-2007, 01:11 PM.
