    It's my understanding that in some languages the common reply to thank you is "Please".

    Please? Does that make any sense?

    I just listed 3 things.
    You are an idiot.
    Invariably, when Rusty is called 'an idiot,' he replies:

    "You're welcome."

    So now you've decided to mess up someone else's thread and make insults at me!

    What a genius you are!

    Try googling and you might learn something about the word 'De nada'!

    I've so far learned it can mean different things in different languages, which I didn't know.

    Better than calling names like a child in the school yard.

    In German 'bitte' is both please and thank you.

    Why not? In Hawaiian 'aloha' is both hello and good bye.

    As well in Italian.

    "Ciao!" Means both hello and goodbye.
    Though the inflection is different in either case.

    Wrong wolfgang.....De nada in French means You're welcome.

    If you said nada...that means: 'it is nothing'.

    -VR
    Rubbish.
    “Nothing” in French is “rien”
    “De nada” has no meaning in French.
    In Spanish it literally means “of nothing”, or “think nothing of it” or “you’re welcome”.

    Please don’t tell me to do any homework.

    I rarely hear the words, "You're Welcome" anymore. I usually hear such phrases as, "Sure", "No worries", "My pleasure", etc.

    So why is this and what do you say?

    I very much doubt that if you don't know what it means!

    Go to your room and do your homework son!

    Your name calling is very childish as far as I am concerned.
