So, someone just thanked you in German! Feeling a little lost? Don't worry, saying 'you're welcome' in German is easier than you think!
The most common and versatile way to respond is **'Bitte'**. Think of it like the Swiss Army knife of German politeness – it works in almost any situation. Someone says 'Danke' (thank you)? Respond with a cheerful 'Bitte!'
But, there are other options too! For a slightly more emphatic 'you're welcome', you could use **'Gern geschehen'**, which translates to 'gladly done'. It implies that you were happy to help. Another option, though less common, is **'Kein Problem'** (no problem).
So, next time you receive a heartfelt 'Danke schön', confidently reply with 'Bitte!' or 'Gern geschehen' and show off your burgeoning German skills. You'll be making friends and mastering the language in no time!
