How do you say 'you are welcome' in Russian?

Answer 1

Russian for "You are welcome" is Пожалуйста, pronounced pa-ZHA-lusta. Incidentally, the same word is used for "please". In that regard, Russian is similar to Italian and German (and probably other languages, though not English).

You can also say "Не за что!" (meaning "Not at all!"), pronounced ne za shto.

Finally, there is "На здоровье!" (literally, "For your health") It used as the reply to someone thanking for something they ate, as after a delicious meal. It is pronounced na zdarovie. Curiously, the rest of the world thinks that "Na zdarovie!" is what Russians say when they drink. The correct toast is "Za vashe zdarovie!" ("To your health!")
