Thanking is a universal way to express your gratitude. That’s why our parents were constantly teaching us to say “thanks” when someone was nice to us. That’s also why when we’re about to travel abroad one of the first words we research how to say is “thanks”. Because we don’t want to be rude in a new country; we want them to know we are grateful for their kind treatment.
Now we know thanking is a highly important gesture to do everywhere and “thanks” is a popular word. That’s why we want to show you how to say “thanks” in 25 different languages. So no matter where you are you know how to show your gratitude.
Benefits of Learning How to Say Thanks in Many Languages
Besides showing your gratitude, what are other benefits of learning how to say “thanks” in so many languages? That’s a good question, here are some benefits:
You’ll make others feel good
It’s always nice when somebody is nice to you, even if it’s just by saying simple words of kindness like “good morning”, “please” or “thanks”. So if you thank somebody for doing you a favor or being nice to you, they’ll feel happy. It’s like you’ll be handing out good vibes.
Think about it; What if somebody was having a bad day, and you made it better just by being kind. It costs nothing to be grateful.
You’ll feel good
If you’re a good person but one day you’re mean to someone, you’ll probably feel bad about it later, or even right away. So by being nice, kind and grateful, you’ll also feel good. Because you’ll feel like yourself, like a grateful and good person, which will also make you proud. Let’s treat others the way we’d like to be treated.
You’ll get to choose your target language
In terms of language, learning how to say a basic word like “thanks” in many languages can be super useful. Because you’ll get to know, even if just a little bit, the sounds, pronunciation, and writing of said languages. So, you’ll get an idea of the whole language.
Which sound do you like the most? Would you like to learn a language with an alphabet different from the one of your mother tongue? You can see which “thanks” you liked better and choose which language to learn from there.
You’ll make natives feel like you embrace their language
We know you can’t learn all the languages of all the countries you visit, at least if you travel a lot. But it’s always nice when someone tries to learn at least some basic words, especially those of kindness, like “please” and “thanks”, when they visit your country.
If you do this, you can thank locals and natives in their mother tongue. This will make them feel like even though you don’t know their full language, you like it and appreciate it.
