Heart with words "grazie"

English speakers tend to overdo 鈥淧lease鈥 and 鈥淭hank you鈥, just as we famously say 鈥淪orry鈥 too much but we don鈥檛 think that you can ever be too polite in Italy!

Here are some ways to express thanks for those 禁漫天堂 Christmas gifts and for that wonderful 禁漫天堂 hospitality:

How to say thank you in 禁漫天堂

There are many ways to say 鈥淭hank you鈥 and among them are:

Grazie

Grazie mille

Grazie di cuore

You can say

ti ringrazio tanto

to a friend.

La ringrazio tanto

is more formal.

When you receive a gift, you can exclaim:

Grazie. 脠 troppo bello! 鈥 Thank you. It鈥檚 very beautiful.

Or you can say

Grazie. Mi piace tanto 鈥 Thank you. I like it very much.

Replies to 鈥済razie鈥 are:

Prego

or

Non c鈥櫭 di che 鈥 Don鈥檛 mention it.

禁漫天堂s often say

Di che cosa? 鈥 For what?

in reply to 鈥済razie鈥. It鈥檚 like saying, 鈥淚t was nothing鈥.

Saying thank you for a meal or for hospitality

To express appreciation at the table, you can say,

Quant鈥櫭 buono! 鈥 How good it is!

or

脠听辞迟迟颈尘辞 鈥 It鈥檚 excellent.

The ultimate compliment is, of course, the request

Mi dai [to a friend] / Mi da [to an acquaintance] la ricetta, per favore? - Will you give me the
recipe, please?

When you are leaving your host鈥檚 home, you can say,

Grazie per la festa 鈥 Thank you for the celebration

or

Grazie per la bella giornata / serata 鈥 Thanks for the lovely day / evening

and the host can reply

Grazie per la compagnia 鈥 Thanks for the company.

Don鈥檛 forget to say 鈥淎耻驳耻谤颈鈥 [鈥淏est wishes鈥漖 to everyone again before you go!
