Did you know?
- In a very formal presentation, instead of saying 들어주셔서 감사합니다, a speaker might use the more honorific term 경청해주셔서 감사합니다 to emphasize that the audience listened with deep respect and attention.
- The word 감사 (thanks) is a Sino-Korean word, meaning it is derived from Chinese characters. This makes it feel more formal and professional compared to native Korean alternatives used in everyday life.
- Using the polite form 들어줘서 고마워 with a crowd would not just be 'casual', it would actually signal an unexpected level of intimacy or a social assumption that you are superior to them.
