hi everybody welcome back to top words

my name is Alisha and today we’re going

to talk about ten words to express

appreciation so let’s go Thanks the

first word is thanks thanks thanks is a

very casual very common way to express

your appreciation for someone it’s so

easy to use Thanks

Thanks so usually for something small

someone else has done for you or has

given to you just say thanks so in a

sentence yeah

Thanks that really helped thank you the

next expression is thank you thank you

so thank you is like a step above Thanks

so thanks is the most casual one I think

and then thank you is like the next step

up thank you thank you so you can again

use this in casual situations and in

more polite situations if you’re ever

unsure if you ever don’t know you can

just use a thank you as your default as

your basic greeting thank you in a

sentence thank you for the book thanks a

lot the next expression is thanks a lot

thanks a lot so with this expression

please make sure to use thanks a lot we

don’t say thank you a lot we say thanks

a lot so please be careful with that

thanks a lot

so this is a little bit casual we use

thanks here but to express a little bit

more a little bit of a stronger

appreciation you can say thanks a lot

thanks a lot in a sentence thanks a lot

for all your help this week I really

appreciate it the next expression is I

really appreciate it I really appreciate

it so this expression is a little bit

more formal I really appreciate it so

we’re using the word appreciate which

means like to show you to express your

appreciation to express a thankful

feeling a grateful feeling so to say I

really appreciate it expresses a strong

feeling so I really appreciate it is for

a slightly more formal a slightly more

polite situation it is

thank you for the support I really

appreciate it

you’re a lifesaver the next expression

is you’re a lifesaver you’re a lifesaver

so a lifesaver is this word actually

refers to a piece of equipment used to

save people who are drowning so there’s

there’s like a circle and inflatable or

like a floating circle that people can

catch if they’re like drowning or having

trouble swimming in the ocean and a

lifeguard can throw them of lifesaver

something it’s a round thing that floats

so the person can hold on to it or put

it around their body but that’s called a

lifesaver in this expression you’re a

lifesaver

means in other words you saved my life

similar to the way that a lifesaver

would save like a person drowning so

you’re a lifesaver

means you really helped me a lot you

saved me from something terrible you did

something really great for me you’re a

lifesaver so in a sentence you found my

keys you’re a lifesaver I’m so grateful

the next expression is I’m so grateful

I’m so grateful so this is one that you

can use for more serious situation so

maybe you receive a nice gift or maybe

you get a special honor or maybe you

receive some kind of recognition in a

more formal situation you can say I’m so

grateful I’m so grateful in a sentence

your recommendation got me into college

I’m so grateful your kindness is greatly

appreciated your kindness is greatly

appreciated your kindness is greatly

appreciated this is when you might use

to finish a formal letter you could use

this perhaps to finish a formal speech I

suppose - or to end a more formal

discussion I suppose but your kindness

is greatly appreciated kind of implies

that you want to receive something from

the other person or they have given you

something so maybe if you receive a

donation of money for example or if you

receive a lot of like volunteer support

you could say your kindness is greatly

appreciated

so it’s a formal and sincere expression

in a sentence thank you for the donation

your

is greatly appreciated you rock the next

expression is you rock you rock so this

is a very casual expression it means

like you rock this rock means like you

are awesome you are great you are cool I

think you’re awesome amazing fantastic

so it’s a very casual expression it

doesn’t directly mean thank you but

rather you are awesome I think you are

great so it’s a compliment we can use

this expression as a compliment when

someone helps you or someone does

something for you that’s great you

really are happy about that and you

appreciate that you can say you rock or

you can substitute with any of the other

words I just said you’re great so we can

use you rock or you’re amazing or you

are awesome those those are pretty good

casual expressions just tell somebody

you think they’re great and to give them

a compliment that means thank you so in

a sentence you already finish the

paperwork you rock thank you so much the

next expression is thank you so much

thank you so much so this sounds like a

very positive yet casual and strong way

to express your appreciation to

emphasize it even more you can draw out

that so sound thank you so much if it’s

too much of an extension though it will

sound insincere if you say thank you so

much it doesn’t sound so sincere so kind

of think about how long you want to make

that sound thank you so much is pretty

good so you can express casual strong

appreciation with this phrase thank you

so much in a sentence all right this

birthday cake is amazing thank you so

much Cheers

the next expression is cheers Cheers so

I included Cheers on this list because

it’s a word that you might hear in

British and perhaps Australian English

it’s a word that means sort of like

thank you in advance for something we

don’t use this word very much in

American English in US English in US

English we typically use Cheers when

we’re enjoying drinks with somebody we

touch glasses together and say Cheers

when we’re drinking but in other Thai

of English you might hear Cheers used to

mean thank you in advance for something

so if we agree to maybe do a project

together or we agreed to make I don’t

know to plan a birthday party together

and you say okay well I’ll book the

restaurant and I say okay I’ll send

invitations to everybody Cheers

it means thank you in advance for what

you are going to do for me thank you in

advance so Cheers is a nice casual way

to say thank you in advance for

something in a sentence

Cheers see you at the event tomorrow so

those are 10 words to express your

appreciation I hope that those were
