معنی
A polite response after someone thanks you.
زمینه فرهنگی
In France, 'De rien' is the standard. Using 'Bienvenue' as a response to 'Merci' is a major 'Anglicisme' and will immediately mark you as a foreigner. In Quebec, due to the influence of English, 'Bienvenue' is actually commonly used and accepted as 'You're welcome.' In parts of Belgium, you might hear 'S'il vous plaît' when someone hands you something or as a response to thanks, which can be very confusing for learners of 'Standard' French.
The 'Safe' Choice
When in doubt, use 'De rien'. It is never truly wrong in daily life.
Avoid 'Bienvenue'
Unless you are in Quebec, avoid using 'Bienvenue' after 'Merci'. It sounds very unnatural to French ears.
