muy agradecido
/mui aɡɾadeθido/from spelling rules
In Spanish, "very grateful" is translated as muy agradecido.
The phrase is used to describe a state of feeling or showing a great deal of appreciation for a kindness or favor. To express this feeling in a full sentence, it is standard to use the verb estar (e.g., estoy muy agradecido).
How does it change in a sentence?
The adjective must agree in gender and number with the person or people feeling the gratitude. Use muy agradecida if the speaker is female. Use muy agradecidos if the group of people feeling grateful is all male or a mixed-gender group, and use muy agradecidas if the group is entirely female. When expressing who you are grateful to, use the preposition a before the person, such as muy agradecido a ti. When expressing what you are grateful for, use the preposition por followed by the reason or thing, such as muy agradecido por el regalo.
Did you know?
- In Spanish, you can express a deep level of gratitude by saying estoy en deuda contigo, which literally means 'I am in debt to you'. This shifts the feeling from a simple emotion to a social obligation.
- The word agradecido comes from the verb agradecer, which is built from gracia. In Spanish, gracia is a versatile word that can mean 'grace' or 'favor' but also 'wit' and 'humor'.
- While muy agradecido is common, Spanish has a unique word desagradecido for someone who is ungrateful. In many cultures, calling someone desagradecido is considered a much harsher moral judgment than simply saying they are not thankful.
