PRO (3): keshab, Harinder Dhillon, Anant Bedarkar

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Pradeep Tyagi : This is appropriate because when we say 'you are welcome' for me it actually means that we are welcoming that person once again for same sort of favour. Hope you people agree with this.

Apke dhanyavaad ko vinamratapoorvak grahan karta hoon.

Well, it's simply fun to translate the cultures :)
Thanks.
Dhanyavaad!
You are welcome.
Apke dhanyavaad ko vinamratapoorvak grahan karta hoon.
or Apki sadaashayata ko pranaam!

Etymologically saying
You are welcome-
Apka swaagat hai,
absolutely inappropriate in these conditions.

1.swagat 2.namaste 3.thik haai

Which one is correct? A simple question sometime can fell us in dilemma. there is a difference in etiquette between the East and the West."you are welcome" is a nice word in reply of "thank you"("No mention"is now obsolete).Here,generally people say "thik haai"in reply of thanks. But I think this is not proper manners.We should say "Swagat" or "Namaste" in reply of "Dhanyabaad"(thank you)
