Re: [Living in Costa Rica] Spanish Word of the Day: You're welcome
Christopher Howard
Hola Compadritos,
Ya voy a aportar (contribute) mi “granito de arena”…….my two cents worth.
“No hay de queso, no más de papa,” is a humorous version of saying you’re welcome from a famous Mexican TV show called Chespirito
Christopher Howard
How many ways can I say, "You're welcome?"
¡Con gusto, amigo! - with pleasure, friend!
¡Con mucho gusto! - with great pleasure!
De nada - it was nothing.
No hay de qué... - say nothing of it...
No hay porque... - there's no reason (short form of the next.)
No hay porque agradecer - there's no reason to be thankful.
A la orden - to order (used in business.)
Para servirle... - to serve you (also used in business.)
Para eso estamos... - that's what we are here for... (used in business.)
¡Todo bien! - it's all good!
Un placer ayudarle - a pleasure to help you.
No se preocupe - don't worry about it.
No hay problema - no problem.
Pura vida... - it's cool.
