'You are welcome' is the right way to say. It's just like to say 'Khush Aaamdeed' in Urdu. My english teacher would always advice us not to think in urdu, rather Think in english if you want to be successfull at english.

You need to get a grasp on the basics first.

Hope I helped.

Hi,

'You are welcome' is an idiomatic expression. That means it is something special that natives say.

It's not like saying 'You are happy' or 'You are tall'.

I came through another same sort of situation while browsing the EnglishForward that you are home.would u please explain this???because no preposition of place have been used like we say you are at home.

The preposition is often omitted in the Modern (Informal) English.
'You are at home' can also be written as 'You are home' and it is correct. However, such sentences are avoided in formal speech.

Another Example:

'I am driving to home' can also be said as 'I am driving home'.

I hope this helped.
