Sir what is the meaning of bitte schoen if we use seperate word meaning then it would be "please beautiful" means what is the meaning? when i asked Google it is saying "You are very welcome" means does schoen also means welcome? Am I right plz correct if wrong. Danke 🙏.

Thanks!

Hello,

"Bitte schön!" as a phrase means "You're welcome!" even though the distinct words mean "please" and "beautiful". 

Once again, please don't do very literal translations like these because German is a distinct language.

Hope this helps.
