    At this point, I don't even know if I'm breathing correctly.

    "thank you" "you should be" Try that one guys
  • American here. Some others: "Sure thing!" "It was on my way" (e.g., dropping someone home or picking something up for someone). "No big thing" or "No biggie" (very informal). "That's all right" (informal, implying no great effort). "It's all good" (from younger people). "It was no trouble," or "No trouble" (like "no problem"). "You bet." "'Tweren't nothin'" (Southern dialect). "You got it" (very informal). I adore your program, Lucy. Thank you for all you've taught me (or "learned me" in Southern dialect).
  • @karencaine8791
    The response, "No problem" sounds as if something had the potential to be a problem, thus implying that the person saying Thank you should be grateful for whatever help was offered, even if the helping was a part of someone's job.
  • “You’re very welcome” “No problem” “Thank YOU” “The pleasure is mine” “My pleasure” “I know you’d do the same for me” “That’s alright” “No worries” “Don’t mention it” “It was the least I could do” “Anytime” “Sure” “It was nothing” Formal way: “Much obliged” “You’re most welcome” “We appreciate your business/custom” “I’m happy to help”

    I am a military veteran. I very frequently hear, “Thank you for your service.” I’ve begun to reply, “You’re worth it.”
  • I have been teaching English more than 40 years. Still, I do appreciate learning new vocabulary and intonation. Thank you in advance for your interesting lessons. Have a nice day! Bye! ❤😊

    I like it. Here in Brazil we use almost all these answers to "Thank you" (in Portuguese, sure). They say, "Obrigado", we answer like this, "Sem problema" ("No problem!"); "O prazer é meu" ("The pleasure is mine"); "Não foi nada" ("It was nothing"); "É o mínimo que eu poderia fazer" ("It was the least I could do"); and so on. So, it's just we Brazilians translate them in English. Thank you for this class, Lucy!

    If everybody in hollywood movies spoke just like you, i wouldn't need to read subtitles
  • @louisyeo2009
    cashier: here's your change, thank you me: it was the least i could do.. cashier: wtf
  • @bakura227
    Lucy, this video is 8 minutes of therapy for the immense ingrattitude I have endured in life.... Thank you!
  • @user-ol5rj8qn9o
    Here's a good one to make points with the boss. I fixed something important for him and explained how it was done, then he went to his meeting. When he came back he said "thanks, you made me look good", I said "that's my job".
  • @1ACL
    "You're welcome " is perfectly fine and very gracious.
  • @Olivs_66
    My Mom: "Thank you for setting the table!" Me: "We appreciate your business."
  • @sydneywilliams8980
    USA, here: I loved hearing these! I always find myself saying (in a very kind, upbeat tone), "Of course!" I began saying this in my customer service role, and found it to be respectful and charming enough to use in personal conversations as well. To me, it means: Why wouldn't I do this for you? I value you/care for you!
  • @st4ndby
    „No worries“ is still my favorite. For me it fits in most situations and sounds always friendly and not to self-praised. Just a friendy response
  • @NorthernKitty
    "I know you'd do the same for me" is the absolute BEST response to that person who you know would NOT do the same for you!! 😁
  • @gusespe4458
    It doesn’t really matter what you say so long as you’re kind & respectful !!!!
  • @hamidrezaeshraghi
