не за что (pronounced: nje za schto) is used as a reply to someone who says "thank you" to you. It is contextually equal to the english "you are welcome", "no problem", "anytime", "don't mention it" reply in that situation.

Literally it means "no for/to what?" and can be confusing in this way. Russians speak and interpret very differently to english.

Learn the contextual usage and you will be fine. The situational response is exactly the same as in english.
