How do you say "your welcome" in Japanese? I am studying Japanese and in the textbook a character says "ありがとおございます" and the other character responds "いいえ". Is there a word in Japanese that says "your welcome" rather than "not at all"?

Basically いいえ is the negative response equivalent to NO. In your example context, it most likely means NOT AT ALL. However keep it in you mind that answering only いいえ often sounds a little impolite. It should be followed by another phrase. Lee is right. YOU’RE WELCOM or NO PROBLEM (in this context) is どういたしまして. It’s not that formal, but for some people like me, it sounds a little bit too cliche. In a casual situation, I usually answer だいじょうぶ. Or I just give an affirmative response はい/うん, implying YES I ACCEPT YOUR GRATITUDE.

Hi Lindsey, one small thing. ありがとお --> ありがとう I heard that many textbook teach the vowel incorrectly but there are words with OU and OO for O-vowel. Please remember about that. Good luck!
