How to say “You're welcome” in Taiwanese

“You're welcome” in Taiwanese (Taiwanese Hokkien, Tâi-gí) is 免客氣, romanized as Bián kheh-khì in Tâi-lô and Bián kheh-khì in the traditional Pe̍h-ōe-jī spelling. Press play above to hear it, then try saying it yourself.

免 (bián) means "no need", so this is literally "no need for politeness". A casual alternative is 無啦 (bô-lah, "it's nothing").
