In places like Venezuela or Colombia, people use “ A la orden” a lot. There are some exceptions on how people say “you’re welcome” in certain countries. ¡No hay por qué! (There’s no reason to thank me).This means something like “it was nothing”, but depending on the context and location, vas a agradecer tener otras opciones (you’ll be grateful for having other options): So, how do you respond when someone thanks you in Spanish? One of the most common and accepted expressions throughout Latin America to accept thanks is “ De nada”. (I thank you for the directions, officer.)
Le agradezco las direcciones, oficial.¡Muy rico! (I’m grateful for dinner, Grandma. ¡Te agradezco por tu ayuda, José! (I thank you for your help, José!).Remember, agradecido is masculine and agradecida is feminine!įor these expressions to make sense, you have to add what you’re someone thanking for. Estoy agradecido por / Estoy agradecida por.¿Quieres saber cuál es cuál? (Want to know which is which?) You’ll have to check the Spring Spanish video where we explain it perfectly! Do you know the difference between te and le? One is formal and the other one is informal. Agradecer means “being grateful for something”, so you’ll find it combined in many ways to express appreciation. You may also sound elegante y educado (elegant and polite) by using the verb agradecer. ¡Muchísimas gracias! (Thank you very much!) - literally, so many thanks.Muchas gracias (Thanks a lot) - literally, many thanks.
Let’s see some different ways to say thank you: One of the theories is that it comes from the biblical expression “te doy la gracia de Dios” (I give you the grace of God), but over the course of history I guess Spanish speakers became a little less dramatic and thus, the expression transformed into just Gracias.īut I don’t think you’d use the same “thank you” expression para cualquier ocasión, ¿verdad? (for any occasion, right?). Gracias literally means “graces” because, in Spanish, people say thanks by wishing you graces. Spanish is a language rich in expressions for thanking, and a lot of them revolve around one word: Gracias (Thanks).
