minus-square jack ( @jack@monero.town ) linkfedilink5•6 months agoIn German, “you’re welcome” means “gern geschehen” which can be translated back to “I did it gladly”. So yea, I also think YW is very positive
minus-square Reil ( @Reil@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish5•6 months agoSee, that’s much closer to “(It was) my pleasure”, which is a valid English response (though these days it puts people in the mind of “Chick-fil-A employee”) than it is “You’re welcome”.
