How to say "you're welcome" in Chinese

不用谢

búyòng xiè

No need to thank me

Grammar and structure

不用 (búyòng) means "no need," and 谢 (xiè) means "thanks." So it's literally "no need for thanks."

When to use it

Use this after someone says 谢谢 (xièxie) to you. It's warm and appropriate in almost any situation, from a shop to a business meeting. A more casual alternative is 不客气 (bú kèqì), but 不用谢 is perfectly fine. Don't use it before someone thanks you — it's only a response.
