phrase request - Possible responses to "thank you"


Is "you are welcome" more polite than "no problem"?


What is the general proper reply to a thank-you?



Answer



First of all, this is always contracted "You're welcome" and is THE best response to thanks in any situation (NOT: you are, which would sound robotic)


No problem is quite familiar and not as "social" as you're welcome. An even more familiar version of this is no sweat.



Don't mention it is quite appropriate instead of you're welcome. If you went to significant trouble and someone thanks you, you can also respond with No trouble at all or my pleasure.
