تفاوت بین You're welcome و Your welcome چیست؟
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'You're welcome' to respond to 'Thank you' because it means 'You are welcome.'
- Use 'You're' when you can replace it with 'You are' (e.g., You're welcome).
- Use 'Your' to show ownership of something (e.g., Your car, your house).
- Never use 'Your welcome' unless you are talking about a welcome that belongs to someone.
مرور کلی
you're و your است. این دو کلمه در زبان انگلیسی «همصدا» یا homophones هستند؛ یعنی تلفظی یکسان دارند اما از نظر معنا و نقش دستوری کاملاً متفاوتاند.you're یک «مخفف» یا contraction است که از ترکیب ضمیر you و فعل are به دست میآید. در مقابل، your یک «صفت ملکی» یا possessive determiner است که مالکیت را نشان میدهد.You're welcome استفاده کنید. استفاده از Your welcome در این جایگاه، یک خطای گرامری فاحش محسوب میشود که نشاندهنده عدم تسلط بر ساختار فعل و مالکیت در انگلیسی است.You're (مخفف You are):you و فعل are. در فارسی، ما برای گفتن «تو هستی»، از ضمیر «تو» و شناسه «ی» استفاده میکنیم (مثلاً: تو خوشحالی). در انگلیسی، وقتی میخواهیم این مفهوم را به صورت مخفف بیان کنیم، حرف a از are حذف شده و با یک «آپاستروف» (') جایگزین میشود.You'reهمیشه نقش فعل یا بخشی از گزاره جمله را ایفا میکند.- مثال:
You're smart(تو باهوشی). در اینجاYou'reیعنیYou are.
Your (صفت ملکی):your دقیقاً همین نقش را دارد و همیشه قبل از یک «اسم» میآید تا مالکیت آن اسم را به مخاطب نسبت دهد.your هیچگاه آپاستروف ندارد. آپاستروف در you're فقط برای مخفف کردن فعل است و هیچ ارتباطی با مالکیت ندارد.You're یک «فعل» است و باید بتوانید آن را به You are بازگردانید. اما Your یک «صفت» است که همیشه به یک اسم وابسته است. در زبان فارسی، ما به راحتی بین «تو هستی» (فعل) و «مالِ تو» (صفت ملکی) تفاوت قائل میشویم؛ در انگلیسی نیز باید همین مرز را در نوشتار رعایت کنیم.You're | تو هستی | You're my friend. |Your | مالِ تو / ـَت | This is your book. |You are بازنویسی کنید. اگر جمله معنی داد، حتماً باید از You're استفاده کنید. اگر معنی نداد، از Your استفاده کنید.- مثال:
... house is big-> اگر بگوییمYou are house is bigمعنی نمیدهد، پس درستشYour house is bigاست. - مثال:
... very kind-> اگر بگوییمYou are very kindمعنی میدهد، پس درستشYou're very kindاست.
You're welcome به عنوان پاسخ به تشکر (Thank you) یکی از مهمترین کاربردهای این ساختار است. در اینجا welcome به عنوان یک صفت عمل میکند که به معنی «مورد استقبال بودن» است. یعنی «تو مورد استقبال هستی» یا «حضور تو خوشایند است».are نیاز داریم.Your welcome استفاده کنید، از نظر گرامری یعنی «خوشآمدگوییِ تو» (مانند یک اسم). این جمله در پاسخ به تشکر کاملاً بیمعنی است. کاربرد دیگر You're در جملات استمراری است، مثلاً You're working (تو داری کار میکنی).You're به عنوان فاعل و فعل کمکی عمل میکند. استفاده از Your در این جایگاه، یک اشتباه رایج است که نشان میدهد زبانآموز تفاوت فعل و صفت را درک نکرده است. در محیطهای آکادمیک یا نامهنگاریهای رسمی، رعایت این نکته میتواند تفاوت بین یک متن حرفهای و یک متن پر از غلطهای ابتدایی باشد.- 1اشتباه اول: استفاده از
Yourبه جایYou'reدر پاسخ به تشکر.
- علت: فارسیزبانان به دلیل اینکه در فارسی برای «خواهش میکنم» فعل نداریم، فکر میکنند
welcomeیک اسم است و به اشتباه از صفت ملکی استفاده میکنند.
- 1اشتباه دوم: افزودن آپاستروف به
Your.
- علت: تداخل با ساختار مالکیت در انگلیسی (مثل
student's book). زبانآموز فکر میکند چون مالکیت است، باید آپاستروف بگذارد، در حالی که صفتهای ملکی مثلyourیاmyهرگز آپاستروف نمیگیرند.
- 1اشتباه سوم: حذف فعل در جملات اسمی.
- علت: در فارسی ما گاهی فعل «هستن» را حذف میکنیم (مثلاً: «تو خوبی» به جای «تو خوب هستی»). در انگلیسی، این کار در جملات خبری غیرممکن است. بنابراین زبانآموز ممکن است به اشتباه فکر کند
Youبه تنهایی کافی است و ازYourاستفاده کند.
You're | فعل (You are) | بله | You're late. |Your | صفت ملکی | خیر | Your car is red. |Yours | ضمیر ملکی | خیر | This car is yours. |Yours (با s) هم یک ضمیر ملکی است که باز هم آپاستروف ندارد. اشتباه گرفتن این سه مورد، یکی از چالشهای رایج است که با تمرینِ «تست جایگزینی» به راحتی حل میشود.- 1آیا میتوانم در پیامکها به جای
You'reازYourاستفاده کنم؟
- 1آیا آپاستروف در
You'reهمیشه برای فعل است؟
a از are است.- 1چرا
Yourآپاستروف ندارد؟
Your یک کلمه مستقل و کامل به عنوان صفت ملکی است و هیچ حرفی از آن حذف نشده است. آپاستروف فقط برای «مخففسازی» یا «حالت ملکی اسمها» به کار میرود، نه برای صفتهای ملکی.The Anatomy of 'You're'

Greeting vs. Response
Smart Tips
Type 'You are welcome' first, then go back and add the apostrophe if you want it to be more natural.
If a verb like 'going', 'doing', or 'welcome' (as an adjective) follows, it's almost always 'You're'.
Add 'very' or 'most' to the phrase: 'You're very welcome!'
Try replacing it with 'car'. If 'Your car' works, use 'Your'. If 'You are car' doesn't work, use 'You're'.
تلفظ
Homophone Rule
In standard English, 'You're' and 'Your' are pronounced exactly the same.
Reduction
In fast speech, both often reduce to a 'yer' sound.
Rising-Falling
You're WEL-come. ↘
Standard polite response.
Flat/Sarcastic
You're welcome. ⎯
Used when you think someone *should* have thanked you but didn't.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
The apostrophe in 'You're' is a tiny 'a' for 'are'. If you can't say 'are', don't use the star (apostrophe).
تداعی تصویری
Imagine the apostrophe in 'You're' is a small hook holding the 'a' from 'are'. Without the hook, the 'a' falls away, and you are left with ownership ('your').
Rhyme
If it's something you own, 'your' stands alone. If 'you are' is the way, 'you're' wins the day!
Story
A king welcomed a guest to his castle. He said, 'You're welcome to stay!' The guest replied, 'Your welcome is very kind, Your Majesty.' The king used 'You're' because the guest *is* welcome. The guest used 'Your' because the welcome *belonged* to the king.

Go to a social media comment section and find three people who used 'your welcome' incorrectly. Rewrite their sentences correctly in your head.
نکات فرهنگی
While 'You're welcome' is standard, younger Americans frequently use 'No problem'. Some older people find this slightly rude because it implies the favor was a potential 'problem'.
British speakers often use 'That's alright' or 'Cheers' instead of 'You're welcome' in casual settings.
'No worries' is the iconic Australian equivalent of 'You're welcome' and is used in almost all registers.
From Old English 'wilcuma', a combination of 'wil' (pleasure/will) and 'cuma' (guest). Literally, 'a desirable guest'.

سوالات متداول (8)
Yes, but only as a noun phrase. For example: `Your welcome was very kind.` This means the greeting you gave was kind. It is never correct as a response to 'Thank you'.
Because `your` and `you're` sound identical. When writing quickly, the brain often picks the shorter or more common spelling without thinking about the grammar.
No, `Welcome!` is used when someone arrives at a place. If you say it after 'Thank you', it sounds incomplete or like you are greeting them again.
To most people, no. However, some older or more traditional speakers prefer `You're welcome` because it feels more polite and formal.
The most formal versions are `You are very welcome`, `It was my pleasure`, or `I am happy to be of assistance`.
Only in very casual emails to friends. In business or professional settings, always use the full `You're welcome`.
Functionally, yes. They both respond to thanks. However, `De nada` literally means 'of nothing', while `You're welcome` literally means 'You are a desirable guest/person'.
It's better to say `Welcome to my house!` or `You're welcome in my house.` The first is a greeting; the second is an invitation/permission.
