Hi Tosten,
In China, we say 'xie xie ni'or 'fei chang gan xie' to express our gratitude.

Hi Torsten..
You come up with a novel idea every now and then. Here I have recorded the phrase ''thank you very much'' in my native language, Tamil (South Indian language).

Hello Infinity,
Thank you very much for telling us how to say thank you in Chinese. Can you please also tell us how to say 'your're welcome'?
Xie xie,

Hello Tosten and Sahid,
'Xie xie'(谢谢) in Chinese means thank you while 'fei chang gan xie' (非常感谢) meant 'thank you very much'. If someone says 'xie xie' to you, you can answer 'bu ke qi'(不客气), which expresses the same meaning as 'you are welcome'.

Hi Sahid,
Thank you very much for recording the first phrase in Tamil. So thank you in Tamil is 'rumba nandri'? And how do you say 'you're welcome' in Tamil?

Hi Infinity,
So 'you're welcome' in Chinese is 不客气?
Thanks,
Torsten

Hi Tosten,
I think it may depend on the situation. If someone says 'thank you', you answer 'you are welcome', then 'you are welcome' in Chinese is '不客气(bu ke qi)'. My name is Shi Weiqiang(史卫强). As you may know that Chinese people put the family name in front of the given name. So, 史(Shi)is my family name and '卫强'(Weiqiang)is my given name.

Hi Weiqiang,
I hope I pronounce your name correctly? Thank you very much for sharing all this information about the Chinese language. It's very important that we learn from each other. By the way, can you please tell me how often you speak English and whom you talk to? The sound quality of your message has already improved and maybe you can somehow reduce the background noise too? Maybe it's your microphone settings. Do you use a stand-alone mike or a headset?

Hi Weiqiang..Ni Hao..!
I came to know many Chinese have an English name along with their Chinese names. Why ..?
For example our consultant engineer from China has an English name as ''Leon'' while his Chinese name is ''Lu Lianji''
Do you also have an English name..?

Hi Torsten..
I am happy to hear the first Tamil word in your voice..''romba nanri'' It is so clear to anyone who may listen that our language doesn't need any accent for voice decoration.
Even though ''You're welcome'' directly has some other words in Tamil, we usually reply the ''thanks'' with ''Santhosham''.
' romba nanri ' ==>> ' santhosham '
