Thank you = Mahalo (Pronounced Mah Hah Low)
Thank you very much = Mahalo Nui Loa (pronounced Mah Hah Low Noo Ee Low Ah)
You're welcome (closer to "no problem") = ‘A‘ole pilikia* (Pronounced Ah Oh Lee Pee Lee Kee Ah)
* Note that Pilikia means troubles
Alternately, "He mea iki" - (it's a small thing)
