How to Say 'You're Welcome'

• The Creole meaning for you're welcome is se yon plezi or pa gen pwoblèm

Now, se yon plezi actually means It's a pleasure.

Pa gen pwoblèm actually means No problem.

But, both of them generally mean you're welcome.

Examples

1. It's a pleasure. I was happy to do that for you.

Se yon plezi. Mwen te kontan fè sa pou ou.

2. No problem! We are happy to help you out.

Pa gen pwoblèm! Nou kontan pou nou ede w.

How to Show Your Thankfulness Even More

• You can use the word wi or anpil after mèsi to emphasize your thankfulness.

The word wi actually means yes. But, you can also use it at the end of a phrase to show that you really agree with or strongly favor something.

The word anpil simply means a lot. But, you can repeat anpil several times to emphasize your gratitude even more.
