No worries, no problem, it was nothing. Minimizes the genuine gratitude of a proper response needed to show your appreciation for someone thanking you. You’re welcome is straight forward and clear.
Different ways to say....YOU'RE WELCOME Informal/casual expressions of you're welcome: 1)You're very welcome 2) No problem! ( It is more common in American English) 3)The pleasure is (all) mine! 4)My pleasure! 5)Thank YOU 6)I know you'd do the same for me! 7)No worries! 8)Not at all! 9)That's alright! 10)Sure! 11)Don't mention it! 12) It was nothing! 13) Anytime! 14) It was the least I could do! 15)Don't count it! Formal expressions of you're welcome: 1) I'm very much obliged to you! 2) Much obliged! 3) You're most welcome!( we wouldn't use it willy- nilly meaning without much thought) 4) I'm happy to help! 5)Not at all! 6)We appreciate your business/custom! 7)It was no bother! 8) It was no trouble at all! 9) I was happy to be of assistance! 10) No need to thank me! *I added some ways that you didn't mention in the video.
In my experience (US, 60+ years) "Much obliged" doesn't mean "You're welcome." It's expression of thanks or gratitude, also implying that one owes a debt. One feels obliged to return a favor, kindness, etc.
Speaking as someone born in the US who has been all over the US, I have never met someone who didn't feel like it was rude to get "No problem" in response to "Thank you." I am convinced everyone who says it has never had it said to them before, at least not while they were actually paying attention. It's primarily young people without any real experience who use that one. Also, never, ever say "Don't count it." That one makes no sense and will only get you funny looks back. And rather than "informal," "sure" just sounds flippant and dismissive. And while we're on the topic of "informal"... "The pleasure is mine" and "The pleasure is all mine" are actually very formal, not casual at all. I'd even venture as far as saying *outdated*. No one uses those anymore outside of archetypal rich people in movies.
Sometimes it's not really a pleasure to help someone depending on that someone, I know this I work at a grocery store, lol. Saying, no worries, no bother, or no problem, would indicate that there was a worry, bother or problem with that person in the beginning. Having that person saying, thank you so much, think they are a problem as well. It was nothing, makes the situation feel as if that person's need of help or feelings of the matter that took place was nothing.... just nothing. So, that person will feel to themselves or their situation a nothing. Don't invite the word, anytime, then that person or people will take advantage and use you...at..anytime. I personally like, happy to help, sure, sure thing.... I find myself always saying after someone thanks me, I say, thank you. I say thank you back to them, I find it's polite back to their politeness. Thanks for sharing, these are just my feelings and what I've learned. Take care xoxo

Hi, Leila! How have you been? To be honest, I usually respond "Anytime" or "Not at all" or "You're really welcome" in my daily English conversation when someone says "Thanks" to me. Cheers!
Stop saying you're welcome/ How to respond to Thank you Don't mention it No worries Not a problem (It was) my pleasure I'm happy to help Not at all Anytime It is/was no bother It's nothing Think nothing of it Sure Sure thing It was my pleasure to help It was not a problem at all I was happy to be of assistance The pleasure was all mine You're most welcome It was no trouble at all No need to thank me
Hello Leila, what do you think about "My pleasure for being helpful." in a slightly formal work communication, where a customer is thanking you for acting on behalf of him? Thx
How to get people to stop saying I appreciate you to me at work it is annoying it's getting on my nerves it's offending me I don't like it I want them to stop it ASAP so I've come to conclusion that I just look at them with the look on my face of why did you say that to me and I don't say anything back to them and eventually they'll stop saying this horrible thing to me.
I loved this. Don't know how I bumped into it! Power of the web, I suppose. Another I like to use: "It is a privilege and an honor to help." What do you think?
Well-done 👍 I believe that I have been improving my listening comprehension, Writing, Reading and speaking skills through the lovely channel. Thanks a lot my amazing teachers L and S
Thank you for a lot of ways to respond to thank you. In other hand I dont think that "you are welcome" is so terrible as if you do a lot work for everyone it is unconfident to say "dont mention" or "it was nothing" and if you are doing a lot helps to someone and you will many time say "dont mention that" they will stop to saying that and will take it as usuall and they will not appreciate your help. You are welcome is asertive. Maybe I am wrong as I am not native speaker and native speakers understand that different 🤷♂️
Thank you for the useful video, but i'd like to ask a question. In an informal context, when i give a friend a compliment and they say thanks, may i still use these expressions?
Hello! Madam Please give me some suggestions for speaking English. I have a problem in speaking English. My speaking fluency is too much weak. So please make separate video for me.Thank you.
Hello professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I love your way of teaching and excellent explanation. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Your Student from Algeria
Namaste Leila, Wonderful lesson about more new words to use in place of "You're welcome" . I admire your suggestions and use these words in my conversation. Thank you.
"Not a problem" or "no problem" or "no trouble" are terrible responses to any kind of thanks. It implies that one thinks the 'thanker' might have created a problem for trouble or one. "You're welcome" is always a great response to a thanks!
Hi L&S Thank you for your gorgeuos lessons, please make a video about refugee, I'm from Afghanistan and I'm around 15 years refugee! If I meet the people they want to know how was my situation and how is now I can't describe exactly that means I need really the specifically words! I'll be happy to paying attention to details.
On Friday afternoon, Naresh Kaluram Bhala (14) and Harshad Vitthal Bhala (7) were with their grandmother on their farm located near the Murbad forest range. While the woman was busy farming, the boys went in search of blackberries. My doubt is about preposition 1)"on" their farm or "in" their farm 2) busy farming or busy "in" farming. please clarify my doubt.
When I thank to my friend her reply np. I was totally confused that what she was saying then I was search what is np then I found this video and I understand she was said (no problem)
Thank you very much my elgant teacher liela, I know all these expressions but I only used, you're welcome, because it's easy to say, but I promise from today I'II Use these expressions which you had mentioned
I recently hear a lot in US stores and at customer service support arrogant “of course” instead of “you are welcome” or “my pleasure”, mostly from Young people. It feels abusive and unprofessional. Customer service at high end companies however not allowed this and consider it unprofessional. So it would be nice to clarify where this answer inappropriate so all the yang audience who listen this video not going down instead of grow their vocabulary.
When someone says "Thank YOU" to your "thank you" it comes across as rude and insincere at times. That's my impression of why athletes and famous people on TV rarely ever say "No problem!" or "my pleasure." Instead they always say "thank YOU" to the media because they look down on them. And I think some people instinctively say "thank YOU!" to outsiders but say "No problem or "you're very welcome" to friends and family. Did you notice that when someone is trying to give you somethign you don't want, or sell you something you don't want, you start dropping "thank YOUs?"
I need business English lessons because I really want ot head to Britain,work there and meet you! I want to be a teacher of English and make videos with you and Sabrah♥^-^ Love you
The hardest thing is when someone Thanks you when they are battling cancer. It's a really tough thing. Should I say "It''s nothing? Or "No worries"? Is it the right thing to reply back with? It doesn't feel right. I wish there was something said about what to use in those circumstances. Maybe I'll go with a "Anytime". quickly on text. I'll figure it out
Hi Leila your videos are excellent and very useful I learn a lot from them and you explain very well Thanks a lot and have a great Wednesday you and Sabrah 😉🇧🇷
People have been politely saying “You’re welcome” or “You’re very welcome”for MANY years. There is no reason this should be changing on us. Yes there are the many other nice responses you mentioned, but I don’t think “You’re Welcome” should be eliminated. No reason for it. Who is in charge of this change to the English language?
Friend: Thank you so much!
Me: *Awkwardly smiles*
Will continue to say you're welcome.
Same here.
No worries, no problem, it was nothing. Minimizes the genuine gratitude of a proper response needed to show your appreciation for someone thanking you. You’re welcome is straight forward and clear.

10)Sure!
11)Don't mention it!
12) It was nothing!
13) Anytime!
14) It was the least I could do!
15)Don't count it!
Formal expressions of you're welcome:
1) I'm very much obliged to you!
2) Much obliged!
3) You're most welcome!( we wouldn't use it willy- nilly meaning without much thought)
4) I'm happy to help!
5)Not at all!
6)We appreciate your business/custom!
7)It was no bother!
8) It was no trouble at all!

Thankz for helping💖
Nothing wrong with saying you are so welcome!
Exactly. People are just rude now no trying to find anyway to justify it. I hate when I say thank you and someone just says yup or mhm

Welcome sister
Namaste Leila,
Wonderful lesson about more new words to use in place of "You're welcome" . I admire your suggestions and use these words in my conversation.
Thank you.
Nice lesson as usual.
"Not a problem" or "no problem" or "no trouble" are terrible responses to any kind of thanks. It implies that one thinks the 'thanker' might have created a problem for trouble or one. "You're welcome" is always a great response to a thanks!
i became an English trainer by watching your vedios
That's really useful, thank you.
Hi L&S Thank you for your gorgeuos lessons, please make a video about refugee, I'm from Afghanistan and I'm around 15 years refugee!

It’s wonderful that you are learning English with us, we are so happy to be able to help you 💕👍
On Friday afternoon, Naresh Kaluram Bhala (14) and Harshad Vitthal Bhala (7) were with their grandmother on their farm located near the Murbad forest range. While the woman was busy farming, the boys went in search of blackberries.
My doubt is about preposition
1)"on" their farm or "in" their farm
2) busy farming or busy "in" farming.
please clarify my doubt.
Hello Sabrah please give me reply.

"You're welcome" is sorely missed in the states as the common reply now is "No problem" ugh. As if it usually would be!?
I would take "no problem" over "yup" any day. That one really irritates me
Lovely lesson 🤗
God bless you 😇❤️
I love these short lessons!! Thanks!!!

Training tomorrow! Laila
It's pleasure of all mine
If my customer says thank you, can i say ok?

Thks a lot for teaching us thru this youtube channel. Always the best
I love you so much Leila your video is always great
Cheers, Leila!
"Sure" and "Sure thing" are two expressions that I've never heard before. Are they short for a longer sentence?
No, you can use them just like that. Or add, ‘no problem’ or ‘happy to help’ something like that. 👍
Hi I am shashidhar from Nepal . That's literally useful vedio. Thank you

I say Happy to be of Service, but I feel "you are welcome" is just fine. Now to people just say "welcome" to me is the lamest.
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson
You’re welcome!
