Why do I need to know 'pas de quoi'? Pas de quoi is the informal way to say you're welcome if someone has just thanked you for something. Pas de quoi literally translates to not of what, which is similar to the English not of worth, as in it is not worth mentioning it, or not worth making a fuss about it. For example, if you give up your seat to an old person or a pregnant woman on the Metro and they say Merci you can respond with pas de quoi.
