de ryen, padekwa oubyen ou merite?What is the most suitable expression among these as susbtitute for english you're welcome.

"de ryen" and "padekwa" are pretty popular ways of saying You're welcome.
I do not hear "ou merite'l" as often.

"De ryen" comes from the French "de rien"  which generally means "It was nothing".

"Padekwa" comes from the french "Il n'y a pas de quoi" which means "It was no problem at all".

"Ou merite'l"  means "You deserve it" (which may translate to "It was my pleasure")
