Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 'my pleasure' and 'you're welcome'?
Both answer thanks. 'You're welcome' is the neutral standard, while 'my pleasure' adds warmth by saying the favour was enjoyable rather than a burden. It is common in hospitality and customer service for that reason.
Is 'my pleasure' too formal for everyday use?
No, though it is a step more polite than 'no problem' or 'sure'. It suits work emails, service settings and situations where you want to sound gracious.
Can you say 'the pleasure is mine'?
Yes. It is slightly more formal and usually answers a compliment or a thanks for meeting someone, as in 'It was lovely to meet you.' 'The pleasure is mine.'
