You could just say “Bon retour.” For a more formal welcome back, try “Je vous souhaite un bon retour.”

Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

“De rien” (“It’s nothing”) is the most common answer. For an even less formal reply, say “Pas de problème” (“No problem”).

Say “Bonjour” or “Salut.” You can also respond with “Ça va,” which means “How’s it going?”

"Bienvenue" also means "you're welcome" but in a different context. It means you're welcome to my house, to my country, etc., while "de rien" is the answer after someone says "thank you."

Question

Why are there 4 ways to say hello?

Community Answer

There are many ways to say hello in English as well. We say "hello," or "good morning," they say "bonjour." We say "hi," they say "salut." "Tiens" is like saying "Hey!" or "Listen to what I'm about to say!" "Allô?" is used when answering the phone.

Why do you not pronounce the numbers like they are written in letters?

That's just how French is. Their pronunciation of words and letters works differently than English pronunciation.
