English term or phrase: You're welcome (in response to a thank you)
I received a card that said "Mange Takk" and I would like to respond in Norwegian with "You're welcome" or whatever the appropriate response would be.

Norwegian translation:Bare hyggelig!
Explanation:
If you have no reason to return thanks, (like in the suggestion "Selv takk"), I think this is the best alternative. It is equivalent to "Not at all"
