What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?
Last Updated: 30.06.2025 19:52
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
