How do you say your welcome in Nahuatl?

There isn't a direct translation of "you're welcome" in Nahuatl. However, there are a few ways to express the same sentiment, depending on the context:

1. " Āxcān" (ah-skahn)** - This translates to "that's right" or "indeed" and is used as a polite response when someone expresses gratitude. It acknowledges their thanks and implies that you were happy to help.

2. " Nīquitēqui **" (nee-kee-tay-kee) - This translates to "I serve you" or "I am at your service." This phrase is more formal and implies a willingness to help in the future.

3. " Xiquitēqui **" (shee-kee-tay-kee) - This translates to "You serve me" or "I am at your service." This phrase is also formal and implies a willingness to help in the future.

4. " Nīquitēqui mā tlamatīni" (nee-kee-tay-kee mah tla-ma-tee-nee) - This translates to "I serve you as best as I know." This phrase emphasizes your willingness to help, even if you are not an expert.

5. " Āxcān, mā mochīhua **" (ah-skahn, mah mo-chee-wah) - This translates to "That's right, it is done." This phrase emphasizes that you have completed the task and are happy to have helped.

The best way to express "you're welcome" in Nahuatl is to choose the phrase that best fits the situation. Consider the formality of the situation and the relationship you have with the person you are speaking to.
