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
