You are welcome for this lesson because today
we are talking about different ways to say...
Oh is there coconut milk in here?
Oh, you know what. Can I have some gingerbread spice?
Yes.
Oh, you know what? It would be great if you could use my favorite cup.
Sure.
You know what goes great with coffee?
What?
Yeah, yeah. I can make you some.
What?
Can I get a refill on the coffee?
Yeah.
Here is a refill on your coffee.
I hope you guys enjoyed their little skit.
Please understand that this is just for comedic value.
Just for the sake of learning English.
But what I want to do is to look at each way
We're going to analyze it and explain it.
So "You're quite welcome," or "You're very welcome," is used when you want to be really polite and respectful.
We add the adverb very or quite just to show a little bit more respect.
That means you really put in some work.
And you really enjoyed helping this person.
It's just a really nice way to respond to "Thank you."
"Don't mention it" is pretty informal.
So this is not something that you necessarily say to your boss.
It's something that you use with friends or colleagues.
It also makes you seem a little bit more humble.
Like you really don't need to thank me.
No worries. Don't worry about it.
It's something that we use all the time, especially with
our friends and colleagues and just people who are our peers.
it's not something that may be used with your grandmother, or a professor, or boss.
So it's just something that you use in an informal level.
And it's just it's kind of short for "Don't worry about it."
"No problem" or a "No problemo," as Americans say it sometimes.
It just...it's also used informally.
It's kind of used interchangeably with "No worries."
Kind of short for implying that there was no problem in helping this other person.
That you really had no issue with it.
No need for things because this task was not a hassle.
"Sure." This one is even shorter.
And I would say it's a little bit more informal.
And sometimes followed by another expression of "You're welcome."
So for example, you can say...
Many times you will see it together with another expression for "You're welcome."
But sometimes it can stand on its own.
So "It was my pleasure" or "My pleasure" it is a little bit more polite than the ones before.
And it's just saying that you enjoyed helping this person.
It was my pleasure. Or my pleasure.
Well this one means exactly what it says it does.
It just means that you were happy to be able to help this person.
And you can use it formally and informally.
Okay. Well now that we've learned these different ways to say "You're welcome."
For this practice, I'm going to give you a situation
and I want you to write down one of these different ways to say "You're welcome."
Imagine that your friend's car broke down in the middle of the night.
And he or she called you on the phone.
And they are very, very thankful.
Use one of the ways to say "You're welcome" that we learned in this lesson.
That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
And if you did, please like and share this lesson
with all of your friends, so that from now on
when you thank each other, you can say "You're welcome" in so many different ways.
Thank you for watching, and we'll see you next time.
Bye.
