when to use danke, and when to use bitte?

Danke = thank you

Bitte actually has a few different meanings and is used a lot. It does of course mean please and you're welcome, you can also say "sehr bitte" which means here you are (a waiter may say it when serving you food, it's a rather polite expression), or Wie bitte? (sometimes just "Bitte?") which is equivalent to "excuse me?" or "pardon?" when someone says something you didn't quite understand.

Bitte Meaning

I think the difference is that bitte you say it after someone said danke to you. Bitte can mean "no problem", you are very welcome. That's all I can think of.

I agree :-)

Danke = Thank you

Danke schön = Thank you so much

Bitte = Your welcome

Bitte schön = Your welcome (sweet way to say it)

Bitte also means "please"

Kannst Du mir bitte dabei helfen?

Can you help me with that, please?

Hope this help :-) Bitte schön!

**** Waiters don't say "sehr bitte"...they say "bitte sehr" , the equivalent would be "here you go" in English, Voilà in French or Doozo in Japanese for example.

Danke means thank you.

Bitte means please, and you're welcome.

You use them when you would use the English ones.
