If someone says "Большое спасибо!" to me in Russian, what can I say in reply? |
|
The most common reply is: Пожалуйста! It's pronounced /pah-ZHA-loos-tah/ and means "You're welcome" in English. Watch this short YouTube video. However, I must note that when the girl explains the word by syllables she says /po/ instead of /pa/. She reads the word properly only once in the very end (when по- sounds like /pa/). This is because O sounds like A when it is unstressed. By the way, "Большое спасибо!" means "Thank you very much!". |

There is also an expression: Не стоит благодарности! It's used in the sense of "Don't mention it" and literally means "Not worth gratitude". |
