Ways to Say ‘You are Welcome!’
Ways To Say “You are Welcome!”
Ways To Say You’re Welcome = There are so many ways to reply to ‘Thank You‘ in place of just saying ‘You’re Welcome.’ It is important to give back the answer to ‘Thank You’ but when we do not use a proper appreciation for someone’s ‘Thank you,’ we do not give them proper satisfaction with the help that we have done for them. (When we do not give proper value to someone’s ‘Thank you,’ the person is not completely satisfied even though we have helped him or her.)
So, it is better to say something more meaningful than to just say “You’re Welcome.”
Let’s take an example –
KJ – You stayed here for me even though you were busy. You helped me a lot. I am indebted to you from bottom of my heart.
Mr English – You’re Welcome!
How would you feel if you were in place of ‘KJ?’
That is why it is important to learn “Ways To Say ‘You’re Welcome!”
