How do you say "It's my pleasure" in Mandarin? When someone says "xie4 xie" to me, I know I can say "bu2 xie4" or "bu2 yong4 xie4" or " Bu2 ke4 qi4". But sometimes it is very polite to say "It is my pleasure (to do something for you". Please answer using pinyin and please show me the tones (1, 2, 3, 4)WOW What a wonderful response to my question. I thought the naswer would be a simple short sentence. Now I see that the Chinese language is a very rich language and almost as complex as English. I sincerely thank each and every one of you who have provided such great answers - Richard

If in Mandarin, i think "荣rong2 幸xing4 之zhi1 至zhi4 " is more deferential. However, please pay attention that this kind reply for "thanks" is usually be used in these relationship occasion such as "subordinate to superior" "yong to older" "man to women" "shopman to customer" etc. otherwise, it will be too flattering to make other side feel strange. i feel 不bu2必bi4客ke4气qi4 is a more widespread word.
