Best Answer

The expression is "You are welcome ( to whatever it is)," shortened in speech to "you're welcome." Many people pronounce your and you're identically, but the distinction may be made that your rhymes with yore, while you're sounds a bit more like ewer. Welcome is an adjective, not a noun, in this case. To be welcome to something means able to accept it freely.
