What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

Why are details for questions here on Quora so limited? I have an account here on Quora and Yahoo Answers. I like discussing different subjects.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
