Discover the various ways to express gratitude in Hindi, both formally and informally.
Key Points to Remember
1. Say “dhanyavaad” (धन्यवाद्), pronounced “dhun-yuh-vahd,” in formal or business contexts and with elders.
2. Use “shukriyaa” (शुक्रिया), pronounced “shook-ree-ah,” casually with friends and family.
Polite Ways to Express Gratitude
Opt for “dhanyavaad” (धन्यवाद्) when you want to convey a formal “thank you.” This phrase is commonly used in situations where you wish to express sincere appreciation, such as receiving a gift or interacting with elders or esteemed individuals.
Add “bahut” (बहुत) before “dhanyavaad” to emphasize your gratitude. When you want to express deep appreciation, use the word “bahut,” meaning “very much,” before “dhanyavaad.” Pronounce it as “buh-HUT” and follow it with “dhanyavaad” for a heartfelt “thank you very much.”
Consider saying “ābhārī hōṅ” (आभारी हुँ) to express gratitude more formally. This phrase, which translates to “I am grateful,” is another respectful way to say “thank you.” Pronounce it as “abb-ha-ree hoon” and use it in appropriate formal settings.
