1Today we answer a question from Melsom in Iran.
2"How many ways can we say 'you're welcome?'... How can we reply to them in both formal and informal ways?"
3Dear Melsom,
4We thank you for your question!
5Let's take a look at the formal answers first.
6These would be ones that you may use with people you do not know very well.
7They include: "you're very welcome" and "my pleasure."
8Here is how two co-workers may use them when speaking with each other:
9Thank you for helping me finish the project.
10Of course. My pleasure.
11You may hear, "my pleasure" at a popular American fast food restaurant.
12The company might tell workers to answer with 'my pleasure,' when people say "thank you" to them.
13This is both a formal and kind way to speak.
14Now, let's look at less formal ways to say "you're welcome."
15They include: don't mention it, it was nothing, sure thing, anytime, and no problem.
16For example, suppose your friend helped you fix a problem with your computer.
17Here is what the two of you might say:
18Thanks for all your help!
19No worries! It's not a problem for me.
20After saying, "You're welcome," you can choose to add some of the other expressions, too.
21Thanks very much for the ride downtown this morning.
22You're Welcome! Don't mention it. It was nothing. It is easy for me to take you; I'm happy to help.
23And that is Ask a Teacher!
24I'm Anne Ball.
