Antwort auf Thank you

[Crashman1966]

Good Morning

wenn man mit einem Englisch sprechenden Menschen telefoniert der z.B. eine Auskunft möchte und am Ende des Telefonats "thank you" sagt, wie antwortet man Korrekt darauf? Sagt man einfach "no Prob" oder "okay"?? Wie verabschiedet man sich richtig? Welche Floskeln darf man benutzen und welche sollte man vermeiden?

Thats all, thank you

you are welcome :)

[Vertigo]

If you want to address your conversational partner formally: "You're welcome!" or "My pleasure!".

[Gast]

"There you are / go" geht auch. Ist aber informal, daher nur bei Kumpels benutzen. :)

[Grobblin]

U r saying "There u go" as an answer to thx? Seems kinda akward to me ... I usually only hear it before the thx. I also heard no problem, but that was only a couple times.

[EureDudeheit]

Welcome oder you're welcome.

as an alternative, and in plain English "don't mention it"

[eXodia]

- u're welcome
- alright
- cheers (we here in the south of England say it all the time, but i guess u won't here it anywhere else)

Regards

yes, in the south you often say cheers or its alright...

[Grobblin]

I guess you could use "cheers" on the Boston area too. There also is a popular bar from some TV show named Cheers in a favorite mall (sry, I don't remember the name, but the food was excellent, though! Chowda!!!)

[Quantar]

"no worries" is the most popular phrase ive heard in this case. otherwise i would also choose "cheers".

[Marcel]

I've heard "Cheers!" not just as an answer to "Thank you!", but also instead of "Thank you!".

As an answer, you can also say "No problem" or "You're right" - at least if you're talking to an Australian. But if you answer with "No worries" (most common down under), please make sure that it does NOT sound like "N'orries"!

[Gast]

und wieso schreibt ihr das alle englisch wenn er deutsch gefragt hat? rofler

[Gast]

Maybe because it is the "English Forum"?

[Klot]

because I want to

@topic:

I suppose that it always depends on the region. Here in Australia it is "not a problem" but mainly "no worries" whereas in Amerika you would say it differently. "Thats alright" is fairly common too I guess. Though I thing that youll always be right with "no problem"

I'd suggest 'You're welcome', I have never heard of 'No worries', but then I only stayed in the US so far and in neither Great Britain nor Australia, so there that expression might be common. When I'm talking on the messenger to some buddy from the US, I also use 'ur welcome' ( that's slang ), 'no problem' or the shortcut 'np'. However, I wouldn't use either of that if a complete stranger asked something. Then I would always say 'You're welcome'.
I've also had someone say 'No biggie' to me when I asked for a phone number. She's from Alabama so it might be a Redneck expression ;) However I don't know for sure whether that expression is slang or not, but I think so.

I guess that's just short for 'No big thing' or 'No big deal'.

Yes, you may use "cheers" and "no worries" in both cases. Pretty strange to my ears, but especially "no worries" is extensively used in australia to show appreciation.

But I wouldnt use it on a business call though...
