Words for "You're Welcome"

I rarely hear the words, "You're Welcome" anymore. I usually hear such phrases as, "Sure", "No worries", "My pleasure", etc.

So why is this and what do you say?

I recall "not at all", "it's ok" and "no problems" from my recent visit in London.

I think the reason is that everything changes over time - our language changes to suit our attitude and behavior.

Edit: You're welcome is a lovely phrase.

I will just add that I am introducing a Swedish version of You're welcome: Du är välkommen, and people seem to like it.

I used to have a friend who would say "de nada" which he said meant something along the lines of "think nothing of it".

In French it means: You're Welcome!

I do believe you can also say 'nada', means 'nothing you could say"think nothing of it", also.

No problem
De nada
It's nothing

to my children "You're welcome"
(a reply encourages them to say "thank you" I find)

Wrong wolfgang.....De nada in French means You're welcome.

If you said nada...that means: 'it is nothing'.

"Prego" or "di niente" are the normal responses to "grazie" in l'italiano.

De nada ("it's nothing" or "you're welcome) is Spanish.

Really? It is also used in French...interesting!

Only difference in French 'nada' means it's nothing, 'De nada' would mean you're welcome.

It's my understanding that in some languages the common reply to thank you is "Please".

Please? Does that make any sense?

What do you mean wrong?
I just listed 3 things.
You are an idiot.

btw
de nada in Spanish
literally means "of nothing" so a colloquial translation is "it's nothing, you're welcome, don't mention it et c.

I've never come across "de nada" in French .. perhaps it is a Canadian thing.
