Gern geschehen ~ with pleasure or no proplem
Nichts zu danken~ implies no thanks are needed.
Bitte schon ~ is the most common answer kind of like "no problem, is kind of hard to translate into making sense in englishThe friendliest answer in my book would be the first one.

Actually, we (native speakers) sometimes say "nichts zu danken"; it means "nothing to thank (for)", or "don't mention it", it's polite enough in most situations. Other common expressions are "kein Problem" ("no problem" - rather informal), or "gerne geschehen" ("my pleasure", very common). Another expression is "Es war mir eine Freude" (something like "my pleasure"); in German, this sounds quite formal, though, and is, thus, not used that often.

Nichts zu danken means that the favor you just did somebody was no problem for you,or more likely that you did`nt mind helping out.sort or in the sense of..dont mention it,dont worry about it.

We say : " Bitte" or "Kein Problem" or "Gern geschehen" or "Schon gut" or " Bitteschön"..or " nichts zu danken" =)

I tink it means no thank you or something. Danke means thans anyway so danken must mean something similar.

There are countless situational questions that when the answer is certain it would properly be lots worse than no.operating example.Are you leaving me?Am I death quickly?Did you cheat on me? etc.etc.
