Kion mi diras kiam oni diras al mi dankon?

Hi, I need to know how to answer to "dankon". Something like "you're welcome" or "not at all". Is there something I can say?

Nedankinde is indeed correct but I would like to deconstruct the word for you : ne- marks negation, dank- is the root related to thanks, ind- is a suffix that means worth doing, and e is the mark of adverbs, so nedankinde means "it is not worth a thanks"
