What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
