One of the most important things to learn in any new language is how to write or say "thank you". Writing "thank you" in Spanish is relatively easy, but it will vary slightly depending on the context and the degree of formality you wish to express. This article will show you multiple ways of writing "thank you" in Spanish.

  1. 1

    Write the word "gracias". Gracias is the word for thank you in Spanish. It can be used in almost any context, in order to express gratitude.

    • The word gracia in Spanish means "grace", so gracias literally translates as "graces" or "lots of graces".[1]
    • The word gracias is pronounced as "grass-ee-ass" by Spanish speakers in Latin America, and as "grath-ee-ass" in Spain.

  2. 2

    Emphasize your thanks by adding "muchas" or "muchísimas". If you wish to say something along the lines of "thank you very much" or "thanks a lot", you can either say muchas gracias or muchísimas gracias.[2]

  1. 1

    Write "I am grateful". "I am grateful" in Spanish is written as "estoy agradecido" if you are male, or "estoy agradecida" if you are female.

  2. 2

    Write "thank you in advance". The phrase "thank you in advance" is written as "con gracias anticipadas" in Spanish.

  3. 3

    Write "thank you sir" or "thank you madam". "Thank you sir" is written as "gracias señor" [3] in Spanish. "Thank you madam" is written as "gracias señora".[4] Don't forget to put the diacritical tilde on the "n".
