What companies, personal brands and copywriters need

What words of gratitude do we usually see in system messages after sending a letter through feedback forms on websites or in letters and comments from brands? That's right, most often several options appear, similar to the examples below:

Your message has been sent. Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in the brand!
We have received your letter, thank you for your feedback!
Message sent successfully. We will definitely answer you.
Your request has been registered. We will respond to you within 300 years.

This format is quite suitable for companies that sell wholesale reinforced concrete blocks, provide services for hiring helicopters with a pilot, or represent other, no less serious topics.

I'm exaggerating, of course. To be honest, such messages are suitable for most “ordinary” messages, but they look a little drab on live, interesting platforms that claim to be unusual.

The standard “thank you” doesn’t really take root on websites and in messages with a light style, a bit of humor and a positive presentation. It's like wearing a Bart Simpson t-shirt, palm tree shorts, and black dress boots. A glitch in style.

Why you can't say "thank you"

Today it is believed that the word “thank you” is an expression of gratitude for help, a gift, or services. But in the old days people thought completely differently. If you pronounce this phrase in full, it sounds like this: “Save, God.” It is in this version that this expression is mentioned in the dictionaries of Dahl, Pansky and Ushakov. Previously, people uttered this phrase not as a sign of gratitude, but in order to quickly get rid of a person, to kick him out of their lives, they said “Save me, God, from him.”

Love for your neighbor

The words “thank you” and “thank you” are abbreviated phrases “God bless you” and “I give you bliss.” This is how people show that the one they turn to is on the righteous path, and therefore deserves salvation and preservation before the End of the World. That is, they show love for their neighbor. And who is our neighbor? Any person with whom you communicate or collaborate.

What should the answer be? When we answer: “No way,” we seem to not understand that we are refusing salvation and preservation in paradise. Even worse, we show disrespect for God. You must answer with love, as if you were answering yourself: “And the same to you,” or “God save you, too,” “Good for you, too.”

"Thank you" is a shield

And today, when a person is uncomfortable with a conversation and wants to end the conversation, the first thing he says is: “Thank you, I have to go,” “Thank you, but I don’t need this,” “Thank you, but call me later.” Unconsciously, people perceive this phrase as a way to isolate themselves from someone, move away from them, and remove them from their lives.

The stronger the emotions, the more stable the opinion is formed: new research

Since the word “thank you” is a kind of barrier between the one who pronounces it and the one to whom it is addressed, it is recommended to say it only if a person wants to communicate less with a specific acquaintance.

Or if he is not sure that the gift was given sincerely, in this case it is also better to say “thank you” as a sign of gratitude. This word helps to secure the space around you so that negativity does not penetrate you.

Noun

The word “thank you” can function as a neuter, singular noun. It can be replaced with the synonym “gratitude” .

Depending on the context, it acts as subject or object .

Example: “His thank you sounded a little cold.” It sounded (what?) thank you. Thank you (what did?) sounded. A noun in the nominative case is the subject.
Example: “She didn’t even say thank you.” Didn't say (what?) thank you. A noun in the accusative case is an object.
Example: “Her joyful thank you made my soul feel so good.” It felt good (from what?) thanks. This is an addition because the noun "thank you" is in the genitive case.

The word "thank you" can also act as a predicate . Moreover, it is used in the sense of “you should thank someone .

Example: “Thank you to my mom for being with me at that moment, I couldn’t have done it alone.”

In combination with a neuter singular adjective, the noun “thank you” forms the phrases: “many thanks”, “many thanks”, “heartfelt thanks” and others.

Example: “I would like to say a huge thank you to my teachers for their incredible patience!”
Example: “And then a friend advised me, I also need to say a big thank you to her.”

Commas

The main or minor member of a sentence does not require commas .

Example: “I had to work just for thanks.”
Example: “I want to say thank you to all the participants in our concert.”
Example: “Your body will thank you for quitting smoking.”

Commas can stand next to the noun “thank you” if parts of a complex sentence are separated or phrases, addresses, or introductory words are separated.

Example: “By saying thank you, you make our world a little kinder.” The adverbial phrase “saying thank you” is separated by a comma.
Example: “In other words, you can’t put a thank you in your pocket.” The introductory phrase “in other words” is separated by a comma.

If the noun “thank you” is a conventional (symbolic) name of an event or its essence is explained in the sentence, then it is enclosed in quotation marks .

Example: “International Thank You Day is celebrated on the eleventh of January.”
Example: “The word “thank you” has three syllables.”

"Thank you in advance"

The expression “thanks in advance” is a combination of the adverb “in advance” and the noun “thank you”. It is part of a sentence and does not require commas .

Example: “I would like to thank you in advance.”
Example: “Thank you in advance for your invaluable help and support.”

It is often found at the end of a business request letter. However, its use is a stylistic error, since the expression "thanks in advance" belongs to the colloquial style .

In business correspondence, the phrase “thanks in advance” sounds offensive. Firstly, it expresses hidden coercion, because the person has not yet agreed, but they are already thanking him. Secondly, they will not thank him for the work done, since they have already said thank you in advance.

Instead of “thanks in advance,” it is better to use other politeness formulas:

Example: “Thank you for considering my request.”
Example: “I would appreciate any help you could give me.”

When to say “thank you” is prohibited

There are 6 situations and places in which it is strictly forbidden to say “thank you”:

Buying a dollar - how many rubles Russians invested in foreign securities

Benefits of sesame: Popular seeds may protect against Parkinson's disease

Perm scientists took part in the development of a supersonic aircraft

When talking to Christians, because the Bible forbids taking the name of God in vain, and by saying “thank you,” which is literally “save, God,” that’s exactly what you’re doing. In order not to offend the feelings of believers, you should not say this word in a conversation with them.
At wakes and funerals, you should also avoid this word, limiting yourself to a polite nod of the head. Giving thanks during such a sad event can look like one is rejoicing at someone's death, and according to folk wisdom, saying “thank you” at a funeral can bring illness to family members. “Thank you” should only be said to funeral service workers, so as not to meet with them for as long as possible.
In prison, this word is also avoided, because it is used by servants of the law. In addition, “thank you” can be regarded in prisons as insincerity and ill will.
You cannot say “thank you” in the bathhouse, because this is a place where a person’s soul and body are cleansed. By pronouncing this word, it is as if you are putting a barrier and preventing your purification, as if you want to remain dirty and unclean. In addition, our ancestors believed that mythical creatures could live in the bathhouse: kikimoras, banniki, and it was blasphemy to mention God in such a place.
If you need to contact a fortune teller or magician, you should avoid saying “thank you” when communicating with them. There are no good reasons for this, but in this way you will show the person your respect, because the world of magic, even white magic, has nothing to do with God.
There is an expression “No thanks for poison”, so you don’t need to say “thank you” when buying alcohol or cigarettes in a store, or if you receive these items as a gift.

How to respond correctly to “thank you”, “thank you”?

There are situations when it is unacceptable to simply speak in stock phrases. Therefore, you need to give a detailed answer. This will make people more pleasant to talk to you. How to correctly respond to “thank you”, “thank you” ? Here are the options:

Do not mention it! Contact us!
I was glad to help you!

Below are even more original options. Read on.

Not “thank you”, but “thank you”

Religion also has a negative attitude towards the use of the word “thank you”. Firstly, as has already been said, one cannot mention God in vain. And secondly, this is connected with the times of Ancient Rus', when there was a ritual of worshiping an idol named Bo. People who worshiped him said, thanking someone, “Save Bo,” and later it was believed that with these words the deity itself was invoked, and the person sinned.

Instead of saying “thank you,” you should say “thank you.” By doing so, you will be giving benefit to the person, giving him positive energy and true gratitude.

And positive energy, as we know, returns to the one who shares it.

I give you the blessing - a wish from the heart?

So say “thank you” or forget? There was an opinion among the people that this word should be spoken to those with whom you no longer want to communicate or to those who have harmed or hurt you. In this case, such gratitude takes on a sarcastic meaning.

You can often hear people answer “no way.” It turns out that this is protecting yourself from possible troubles from that person.

If we say “thank you,” then we are doing something beneficial to ourselves. By saying “thank you,” we wish the person good. That is, having wished good for another, we begin to believe that all good things will return to us.

Do these words really have such different meanings? Try saying both of these thanksgivings, you will see that nothing in your life will change. Doubts will just begin to live in your soul.

My dear, my sun, I still remember very well that wonderful day when I first saw you. You were so easy, spontaneous, cheerful. Your eyes, I could never forget them. And how you smiled. I wanted to drown in your smile. Your ringing laughter, your infectious, sweet laughter. I'm ready to listen to you laugh all my life. I was so afraid to approach you, to talk to you. I thought that it was all a dream, because such beauty cannot exist on earth. And now, finally, you are with me. I got you, I knew that we should be together. You are my destiny, you are my everything. Let's not look at others, listen to those who say something against us, because it is not for them to live for us. Only we will live our lives, so let’s do everything the way we think is right. Believe that you and I are capable of a lot together, so don’t even worry.

But it was then that I realized that I would do everything, but I definitely wouldn’t let her go far from me. My darling, I want you to be confident in me and in my intentions. It is possible that at times it can be difficult for us, but this does not mean that it will always be so, because now I am trying not only for myself, but also for us, or rather for our future, for our family. You changed mine and my life, which became much brighter and more interesting, so many colors appeared in it that I didn’t even know about before. Do you think that after this I can still let you go? Of course not! I will do everything possible and even unrealistic, but you will be there. You will always feel the love that I will convey to you.

***

Baby, my favorite person. I'm so glad I have you. You are the best, my beloved dear! What would I do without you anyway? When I look into your eyes, I'm lost. I can't find the right words to describe my boundless love for you. You are the light of my life and if you weren't there I would be miserable. You gave meaning to my life. And there is no one who could replace you, you are the only one, and you are mine. I am always ready to be by your side, to meet sunrises and see off sunsets, to share with you all your joys and sorrows. How grateful I am to fate for such a gift, you are a real treasure. Every look of your beautiful eyes, every word that your angelic lips say, every moment that we were together, I keep in my heart. You completely and completely filled the emptiness inside of me. And my heart can no longer live without you. Just be there and the rest will happen.

***

My darling, I haven’t spoken beautiful words to you for so long, but believe me, that doesn’t make me love you any less. Just know that I am so incredibly lucky to have you that I try not to talk about it much. You are the most charming, incredibly beautiful, indescribably tender girl I have ever met in my life. Even in that first meeting, I immediately realized that I would definitely never find someone like you again. I still get goosebumps all over my body when you touch me. I am so glad that our paths crossed with you then, my dear. Remember that I am ready to work day and night, but I will do everything for our future family. Just imagine that our children will walk with us, as cute as you are. Oh, then I will suffer with you, but I will be pleased. I'm looking forward to this moment with such impatience that you can't even imagine. We will have everything.

***

When I first saw you, I realized that falling in love right at first sight is quite possible. This meeting puzzled me because I simply did not even know how to behave. I was lost, I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t know how to approach you, I just couldn’t find the words. You were stunning. One could only dream of such a beauty. When we started dating, every day I became more and more convinced that you would be my wife, whom I had dreamed of for so long. Your laughter and your smile captivated me forever. I can't live a day without you. You are always in my thoughts, in my dreams, you are in my heart. I remember the first time I dreamed of you. Probably, it was at that moment that I realized that I would have to pursue you to the last, otherwise I would not forgive myself. And I also want to say that I will do everything to make you smile sweetly and sincerely every day.

***

From the day I met you, my life was filled with joy, because you appeared in it. When you are near, I simply cannot be in a bad mood, because you are my ray of light, my dear. When you are next to me, my breath takes away, my heart skips a beat, and it becomes warm inside. With you I really feel happy. I loved you from the first second of our meeting, and believe me, I can’t stop loving you. I want to always be by your side, protect you, protect you, love you. Before you, I didn’t know what love was. With you I began to look at the world differently, with you everything is colorful and bright. You filled my heart with yourself, and now it belongs only to you. I couldn’t even imagine that all day long you could think about the same little person, with whom you always want to be together, with whom you forget about everything. I am ready to repeat forever that you are my beloved dear.

***

My sweet baby, you are the most dear person to me in the whole world, and I thank fate for meeting you that evening! I'm incredibly glad I found you. There have been many girls in my life, but none of them compare to you. You are the girl I'm going to marry. I can confidently say that meeting you is the best thing that could happen to me in my life. I'm just happy and grateful to fate that I met you. I can’t imagine how I would have lived without meeting you. Everything becomes brighter with you. My world has changed thanks to you, and I don’t even know what I would do without you, without your smile, without your tender look, without your affectionate hugs. I always want to see you cheerful and happy and I’m ready to turn the whole world upside down if only you weren’t sad. I am happy with the thought that one day you will become mine forever. And believe me, the wait is not long.

***

Every time I see you, I take my breath away, loving you makes me happy, and life without you becomes boring and so uninteresting. I just can’t live without your sweet smile and the color of the most beautiful eyes in the world. Everything I have, I am ready to give you, and even more, I am ready to give you my heart. You are the only one, desired, beloved, my meaning of life. I can also give you happiness and all my love, but you just need to let me do it. My sun, my joy, I am ready to do anything for you, to fulfill any of your dreams, to do even the impossible. I've never been so confident in myself. I am ready to be with you all my life, to experience with you the best moments, happiness and troubles, ups and downs. I am ready to help you in everything, support you and just be there. My dear, just be next to me, and the rest will happen.

***

My angel, my beloved dear, no matter how I try to describe my love in words, it will still not be enough. You deserve the best, and I promise to do everything to always make you smile. Everything about you is simply perfect: your gentle look, your delicate smell, your silky hair, your sweet voice, your lovely lips, which I am ready to kiss forever. I sincerely and boundlessly love you. I wake up with the thought that such a beauty is next to me, and I fall asleep thinking about you. My life has gained meaning, because you are in it - the kindest, gentlest and most beloved person. With you, I experience completely new feelings, which I did not know about before, and without which my life was empty. You taught me to love, and not every girl can achieve this. But you're not like everyone else. You are the most precious thing I have, and I am ready to make every effort to live only with you.

***

My baby, from the first moment we met, you simply amazed me. I looked at you all the time to understand what you are like. I constantly think about you, I miss you, I dream every minute that you are near. You conquered me with your superiority. Never in my life could I have thought that I would be so lucky and would meet someone like you - the most beautiful, smart, sweet girl. I like to look into your eyes, touch your velvety skin, kiss your lips. I like just being next to you, because it is at such moments that I understand that my life was devoid of color until I met you. I want to say that you are my favorite, because just saying I love you is the same as saying nothing. It's hard for me to describe this huge feeling for you. For your sake, I am ready to do absolutely anything, I just need you to support me and be by my side.

***

I definitely won’t be able to forget that day and our meeting, because it was all fateful, but so ridiculous. We met under circumstances in which many later do not even risk communicating, but for us everything turned out differently. My love, you and I have been together for so long, but I want to come up with new ways every time to confess my love to you. Why don't they invent new words? They would be the ones who would help me. I want to say that I have never seen such a bright and kind creature who manages to help everyone, support everyone, while she herself tells few people about her problems. Rodnulya, don’t forget that you have me – a person who can do everything. Your main concern is that I be calm, and I will do the rest myself. Moreover, you personally always cope with your responsibility perfectly.

Voice declarations of love to a girl

What is not allowed

Under no circumstances should you answer something like: “it’s not expensive”, “we didn’t buy it, I had a gift lying around at home”, “I got it as a present”, “bought it on sale”.

Some gestures are also unacceptable: waving, grinning, mysterious glances. The person who accepts the gift must see the clarity of the situation: you presented the gift with all your heart, and he joyfully accepts it. And no ambiguous hints!

All these words, gestures, facial expressions can not only offend a person, this is a serious request to never be invited into the house again. Therefore, think carefully about how to respond to “thank you.”

About women and men

Women love gifts very much, all men know this. But if there is a close relationship in a couple, then the lady can express gratitude in various ways. All of the above are not suitable.

A woman, accepting a gift, may hug back, jump and squeal with happiness. No sour expression or quiet “thank you.” Gratitude in this case can be loud, stormy and always sincere.

Then the man will go crazy in order to constantly give gifts to his beloved and not worry about the topic: “What to answer to “Thank you for the gift”?”

Is it necessary to respond to gratitude?

Let's try to put ourselves in the shoes of the person thanking. Having said the cherished word, you do not specifically expect anything in response. But how nice it would be to see or hear kind words in return!

These may not be words, but a gesture or a fleeting smile, an expression of a glance. Such “little things” can preserve a good impression of a polite person for a long time. Exaggerating a bit, we can say: you would like it.

In any case, simply turning away and going about your business in response to a “thank you” is rude and can be upsetting.

But every rule has exceptions. Sometimes the word “thank you” has the opposite meaning and is pronounced with sarcasm, mockery or anger. In this case, the person does not thank, but expresses his resentment or anger: “thank you for the broken car,” “thank you for being late,” “thank you for the ruined evening.” Here it is better to remain silent in response or apologize for the mistake.

Reply using gestures

Of course, gestures also help in communication. In no case should you use the irritable “oh, there’s so much to do,” but you had to be distracted by other people’s problems.

But gestures are different, not all are verbally translatable, but each is intuitive. We suggest you study a small list. In response to “thank you” you can do the following:

just smile cordially, this action works wonders;
place your palm on your heart and slightly tilt your head;
imitate a handshake by clasping your own palms and shaking them slightly;
just nod your head slightly and smile back;
depict an “air kiss” (for ladies).

This list can be continued with your own options (imagine at your leisure)!

How to respond beautifully to “thank you”?

Responses to “thank you”
Gratitude should be positive. After all, a person is always happy when he says such words, because they helped him, they came to his aid. How to respond beautifully to “thank you” ? Here are the options:

May your gratitude that you express to me transform into a good mood that will accompany you all day. Good luck, don’t get sick, always be happy and healthy! And if anything, come! I will always be happy to help you.
For such a kind, sweet and sensitive person like you, nothing is a pity. I'm glad I helped you. May you never have any more problems in your life!
There is no need for gratitude, my dear friend. After all, I helped you not for a “thank you” but for free. I really hope that my efforts were not in vain. Be happy!
Helping you is a piece of cake for me. You are truly a very good person, for whom nothing is a pity. And a piece of my soul will always remain next to you. She will protect you from winds and adversity and will become a guiding star on your path in life.
