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:

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

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

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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

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