Can you please explain what "нет, что ты" could be translated into? I have tried the speech machines but they do not pick it up. Is this phase used a lot in the russian language?

Here expression "что ты!" is a short version of «что ты такое говоришь/предлагаешь!»
It means that previously expressed ideas absolutely unacceptable by answerer.
This expression normally used in speech.
Example:
— Слышь, программист, а ты умеешь писать вирусы?
— Нет, что ты! (испуганно)

1. «спасибо» is neuter, as most of words ending with -o. It also supposed to start from the lower case letter, unless it starts a sentence. So it is "Большое спасибо!" Commented Oct 11, 2015 at 7:18
