Pleasure is mine

if you say pleasure is mine what does it means?

  

Top answer

I think you mean " the pleasure is mine". It is a polite formula meaning "you're welcome". The idea is that you did something for the other person, and when they express gratitude, you humbly minimize your contribution by claiming that you derived more pleasure from doing it than they did from receiving it.
