How to write “you're welcome” in Morse code, letter by letter
- Y -.-- · O --- · U ..- · ' .----. · R .-. · E .
- W .-- · E . · L .-.. · C -.-. · O --- · M -- · E .
The apostrophe has its own Morse code, .----. — and in quick, hand-sent messages many people simply leave it out and send YOUR WELCOME (-.-- --- ..- .-. / .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- .). That shorter form is what most searches for “how do you say your welcome in Morse code” are really asking for. The translator above is loaded with the full, correct version, and both are understood.
One space separates letters; a slash ( / ) separates words. A dot lasts one unit, a dash three — the timing rules are the same whether you write, beep, tap or flash the phrase. Every letter above follows the ITU International Morse Code standard, the same table as our full Morse code chart.
The other half of “thank you”
Manners work in Morse code exactly as they do in plain speech: somebody sends a careful “thank you”, and the conversation feels unfinished until the reply comes back. As a written code it is popular for the backs of thank-you cards, wedding favours and gift tags — a small hidden courtesy that only the recipient can read.
It is also a genuinely good practice phrase. YOU'RE is dash-heavy, WELCOME is a mix of everything, and at the standard 20 WPM the whole reply takes just under nine seconds to send — long enough to feel like a real transmission. Play it above, then test yourself in the practice trainer and see if you can pick out the W (.--) that opens the second word.
Frequently asked questions
What is “you're welcome” in Morse code?
You're welcome in Morse code is -.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . / .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . — YOU'RE is -.-- --- ..- .----. .-. . (the apostrophe is .----.) and WELCOME is .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- ., with a slash marking the word gap.
How do you say “your welcome” in Morse code?
It is the same code. People often write and search for “your welcome”, but the phrase is “you're welcome”, short for “you are welcome”. If you drop the apostrophe when sending, the code becomes -.-- --- ..- .-. / .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . — and listeners will still understand it perfectly.
What do radio operators say instead of “you're welcome”?
On air, operators keep exchanges short, so a full “you're welcome” is rare; a thank-you is usually answered with a brief acknowledgement, or the exchange is signed off with 73 (--... ...--), meaning “best regards”. The full phrase belongs to messages, cards, notes and practice — anywhere the words themselves matter.
