The Chinese word 不客气 (bù kè qì) is a common phrase that means "you're welcome" or "no problem." It is used in response to someone who has thanked you for something. The word 不客气 is made up of three characters: 不 (bù), 客气 (kè qì). The character 不 (bù) means "not" or "no." The character 客气 (kè qì) means "polite" or "courteous." So, the word 不客气 literally means "not polite" or "not courteous." However, in Chinese culture, it is considered to be polite to say 不客气 in response to someone who has thanked you. This is because it shows that you are not taking their thanks for granted and that you are genuinely happy to help them.
