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.
