Está Bien: How to Say You're Welcome in Spanish

In Spanish, you can use the word for “welcome” as a transitive verb – la bienvenida – or a noun for “greeting” - bienvenido - to give someone a warm welcome. For example, ¡Dar la bienvenida! can be roughly translated as “Please welcome…” or “Say hello!” while cambio bienvenido expresses a welcome change.

However, if you want to say “You’re welcome” in Spanish when someone is thanking you – like in English – you’ll need another choice of words. Perhaps you’ve read our previous article on different ways to say “Thank you” in Spanish. Here, we’ve compiled a list of Spanish phrases you can use in response to make people feel welcomed.

In this article, you will find several different ways to say “You’re welcome” in Spanish which you can apply to different situations, contexts, people, as well as the type of favor you’re being thanked for. We welcome you to check these out!

De nada

De nada is probably the most commonly used way to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. It means "it's nothing," and it's a great way to show that you're happy to help.

It's a very simple welcome phrase that you can use in almost any situation, whether you've done something big or small for someone or whether it’s a formal or casual response.

Alternatively to De nada, you can say Por nada or No es nada, which can also be translated as “it’s nothing.”

However, keep in mind that Por nada isn’t used in every Spanish-speaking country like De nada, but rather in Latin American countries, such as Costa Rica or Puerto Rico.

No hay de qué

No hay de qué is something that you'll hear often in Spanish-speaking countries. It's used to downplay someone's thanks, and it roughly translates to "there's no need to thank me" or “don’t mention it.”

You can use this welcome phrase when someone is thanking you for doing something small, like giving them a pen or giving them directions. It’s great to use when you want to be polite and show that you don't expect anything in return for your help. For example:

Por supuesto

This is another common way to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. This phrase means "of course," and it is a great way to show that it’s a pleasure to help someone out.

You can use this phrase in both formal and casual situations. For example, it can be a great response when someone thanks you for holding the door open for them.

A tu servicio

A tu servicio is another greeting that you'll hear often in Spanish-speaking countries. It means "at your service," and it's usually used when someone has done something for you that's above and beyond the call of duty.

For example, you could use this phrase when someone says thank you for helping them carry their bags or giving them a ride home.

Alternatively, you can say A la orden, which has the same meaning.

No problema

No problema is a popular way to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. This phrase is often used informally, and it's a great way to show that you don't mind helping someone.

You can say No problema in many different situations. For example, you could use it when a coworker asks you to cover for them or when a friend asks you to borrow your car.

No te preocupes

If you want something more casual than a regular “you’re welcome,” you can use this. Typically, No te preocupes is an informal phrase and means “don’t worry about it” or just “no worries.” You can use it with friends, family, or anyone else you feel comfortable with.

Es un placer

If you need a way to say “you’re welcome” in a formal context, here you go. The phrase means “it’s my pleasure.” You can use it when you’ve done something for someone that required some effort.

It can also be used to respond to someone who has just thanked you profusely.

Está bien

This is a more informal phrase that means “that’s okay.” You can use it to say “you’re welcome” in Spanish when someone has just thanked you for doing something small.

Por favor

This is something that you might not expect to see on this list, but it's actually a great way to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. This phrase means "please," and it's often used as a response to someone's thanks.

For example, if someone thanks you for helping them with something small, you could say it to show that it’s a pleasure to help.

Con gusto

Con gusto or Con mucho gusto are other common ways to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. These phrases mean "with pleasure," and it's a great way to show that you're happy to help someone.

You can say Con mucho gusto in a variety of different situations. For example, you could use it to say “you’re welcome” when a friend thanks you for helping them with their Spanish homework.

Lo mismo a ti

Lo mismo a ti is another way to say "you're welcome" in Spanish. This phrase means "the same to you," and it's a great way to sign that you've actually enjoyed the process of helping someone.

It’s a very versatile welcome phrase, so you could use it when a friend thanks you for lending them your notes or when a coworker thanks you for working on a project together.

Alternatively, you can say A ti también which means "to you too," and is another way to say it was a pleasure to help them and be polite in your response.

Gracias, las que te adornan

This phrase translates as “Grace is what's adorning you” and is not only a casual way of responding to Gracias - thank you - but it’s also got a flirty tone.

This phrase doesn’t really mean “welcome” in Spanish and is typically used to give compliments for both men and women.
