How to Say "Thank You so Much" in Hebrew

תודה רבה

todá rabá/toˈda ʁaˈba/

In Hebrew, "thank you so much" is expressed as תודה רבה (todá rabá).

תודה רבה is a phrase used to express strong gratitude or appreciation to someone.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of תודה (thanks) and רבה (much/great/many).

While תודה (todá) is the standard way to say "thanks," תודה רבה (todá rabá) is the equivalent of saying "thank you very much" or "thank you so much."

To add even more emphasis to your gratitude, similar to saying "thank you very, very much," you can double the second word to say תודה רבה רבה.

The romanization is todá rabá.

The standard response to תודה רבה is בבקשה (bevakashá), which means "you're welcome" or "please."

While תודה רבה is used for gratitude, the word רבה comes from a root meaning 'great' or 'many', which is also found in the name 'Rabbi'.
The Hebrew root of תודה can also be found in words related to 'confession' or 'admission', showing that thanking someone is a way of 'confessing' their kindness.
The word בבקשה, which is the standard way to say 'you are welcome' in response to תודה רבה, is the exact same word used for 'please' when making a request.
