非常感谢
fēicháng gǎnxiè
The English phrase "muchas gracias" is expressed in Chinese as 非常感谢 (fēicháng gǎnxiè).
This phrase is used to express a high level of gratitude to someone.
Which one should you use?
While 非常感谢 means "Thank you so much", you can also use 十分感谢 to mean "Thank you very much". For even higher levels of expression, 感激不尽 conveys being "Extremely grateful" and 衷心感谢 expresses "Sincere thanks".
How do you pronounce it?
fēicháng gǎnxiè
Did you know?
- If you want to sound extremely humble when receiving a great favor, you might say 哪里哪里 (nǎlǐ nǎlǐ) instead of a direct thank you, which translates to 'where, where' to deflect the compliment.
- While 非常感谢 is the standard for gratitude, the word 非常 originally meant 'extraordinary' or 'not normal' before it became a common intensifier like 'very'.
- In close relationships or among family members, saying 非常感谢 can actually feel too formal and create an emotional distance, making the speaker seem cold or distant.
