How do you pronounce it?
/ɡɾaθjas poɾ komunikaɾte/
Did you know?
- While English uses a physical metaphor of 'reaching out', the Spanish comunicarte focuses entirely on the act of communication itself. Translating the English phrase literally as 'alcanzar' would sound like you are physically grasping for an object.
- The word gracias shares the same root as the English word 'grace'. Both originate from the Latin 'gratia', which refers to favor, charm, or a pleasing quality.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, it is common to follow Gracias por comunicarte with a phrase like estamos a tu disposición, meaning 'we are at your disposal'.
Examples in context
- Gracias por comunicarte conmigo.Thank you for reaching out to me.
- Gracias por comunicarte con nosotros.Thank you for reaching out to us.
- Muchas gracias por comunicarte hoy.Thank you very much for reaching out today.
