The phrase is used to express gratitude. You can use the noun təşəkkür by itself, or the full verbal phrase təşəkkür edirəm to say "I thank you". A common shorthand way to say "thanks" is təşəkkürlər, created by adding the plural suffix -lər to the noun.
What does it mean word for word?
In the phrase təşəkkür edirəm, təşəkkür is the noun meaning "thanks" and edirəm is the first-person singular verb meaning "I am doing".
Which one should you use?
While təşəkkür is the base noun, təşəkkür edirəm is the complete verbal form. Another way to express gratitude is using the root sağ, where sağ ol literally means "be healthy" and serves as an informal way to say "thank you", whereas sağ olun is the polite or plural version. To say "thank you very much" informally, you can use çox sağ ol.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Təşəkkür edirəm is a polite and more formal way to express gratitude compared to using the noun alone. For formal situations, Çox sağ olun is also a highly appropriate choice. In contrast, sağ ol is a common informal way to say "thank you" and çox sağ ol is used to say "thank you very much" in informal settings. If you wish to express gratitude in an attentive and affectionate manner, you may use sağ olasan.
Is it said differently in some regions?
The following forms are written using the Cyrillic alphabet: тəшəккүр, сағ ол, тəшəккүр едирəм and чох разыjам. Additionally, the phrase تشکر ادرم is available in a different script with the romanization tesekkur edirem.
How does it change in a sentence?
The phrase təşəkkür edirəm functions as a full verb where edirəm is the first-person singular form of the verb "to do". The informal expression sağ ol can be made polite or plural by using sağ olun.
