de nada

The default answer to <b>gracias</b>, short enough to use dozens of times a day.

de nada

Natural: you’re welcome / not at all
Literal: “of nothing”

De nada, hombre.No problem at all.

Where it is said

It works everywhere; Mexicans often say <b>no hay de qué</b> or <b>con gusto</b>, and in Colombia <b>con mucho gusto</b> is very common.

A mini dialogue

— Gracias por la ayuda.— Thanks for the help.
— De nada, cuando quieras.— You’re welcome, any time.

Watch out

de nada

It is two separate words. Denada is a spelling mistake, and de nadas does not exist.
