No Hay De Qué – You may hear Spanish speaking countries use this phrase in more formal settings. It’s a politer way to say you’re welcome then De Nada. It doesn’t really translate well into English as it comes out to “nothing to thank for”.
a la orden – Another formal way to say you’re welcome and translates to “at your command”. This is a common saying throughout most Spanish speaking countries and often used when assisting someone. It is also often used when speaking to someone elderly as a sign of respect.
