We have many things we say.
“You are welcome” is polite and should be said to people you want to show respect to. You can add ‘very’ to be even more polite. “You are very welcome.”
Informally, you can say “no problem” or “my pleasure” or “of course”, or “sure thing”.
“My pleasure” could be used to be very friendly. And “sure thing” is regional.

@gaoyan_oaycp6MoYMbt7 if you want to reply casually, you can reply with just "welcome" instead of "you are welcome" :)

A lot of people drop the "mm hmm" on me. I used to find it annoying, but now I'm kinda used to it.
