Is Thank you kindly rude? (2023)

Why do people say thank you kindly?

Mencken suggests that “thank you kindly” was brought to America by Irish immigrants who were “almost incapable of saying plain yes or no” and “must always add some extra and gratuitous asseveration.” “The Irish extravagance of speech struck a responsive chord in the American heart,” Mencken adds.

My sincere appreciation/gratitude/thanks. My thanks and appreciation. Please accept my deepest thanks. I appreciate you.

I'm eternally grateful for… / I cannot thank you enough for… / I want you to know how much I value… / Words cannot describe how grateful I am for… / Please accept my deepest thanks for…

If your teacher says, "Kindly hand in your homework," she is using kindly as an adverb to make a polite request. Another way to use the word as an adverb is: The animal doctor always treats our pets kindly. “Kindly” is also an adjective.

“Thank You Kindly” is a phrase that is used quite frequently in the south.

I sincerely appreciate your help. A formal way to express appreciation for someone's help. Please accept my deepest thanks. A very formal way to give thanks; mostly used in official written correspondence.

“Thank you for thinking of me, but unfortunately I will have to pass.” “I am not taking on any new commitments right now.” “I'm so sorry, I just cannot make it work.” “I wish I could help, but at the moment I just can't.”

What is the slang word for thank you?

Ta is a slang term for thanks that can be traced back to the 18th Century. Much of the English language actually comes from the old Dutch and Jutland languages, and ta is believed to be a shortened form of the Dutch word tak, meaning thanks. Somewhere along the way the 'k' was dropped, and it became ta.

The words “kindly” and “please” are used to ask for a request. They are both formal.

“Kindly”

It is old-fashioned and seemingly antiquated. It is better you use “please” rather than “kindly.”

1a : in a kind manner : sympathetically. b : as a gesture of goodwill would take it kindly if you would put in a good word : in an appreciative manner She didn't respond kindly to the suggestion. c : in a gracious manner : courteously they kindly invited us along.

The most basic way to thank in Spanish is by saying gracias (thanks). For all occasions, you could also say: Muchas gracias, which means 'thanks a lot' or 'thank you very much' Muchísimas gracias, which means 'thanks a lot' or 'thank you very very much'

'Thanks' is informal and 'thank you' is more formal. When we say 'thank you so much' and 'thank you very much', we are emphasising how grateful we are. Thank you very much for treating the team to lunch. We can also use 'many thanks' when we're writing a formal letter or email.

“The work you do is important and so appreciated.” “Sending a little heartfelt appreciation your way today!” “Just wanted to express our deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day.” “For all you do—and for the kind, thoughtful way you do it—thank you.”

Say the words “thank you” in the first sentence or two, so the person knows why you are writing. If you are sending an email, include the phrase “Thank You” in the subject line as well. Give (some) specifics. Make sure you specify what you are thanking the individual for.

How do you thank your boss?

We look forward to doing business with you again! Thank you for your valued business. We value your trust and confidence in us and sincerely appreciate you! Your commitment as a customer is much appreciated.

Responding to a thank you email helps keep relationships strong between you and a colleague, client or supervisor. It is proper etiquette to write and send your response to a thank you email within a day of receiving it.

: a feeling of appreciation or thanks. Let me express my sincere gratitude for all your help.

Absolutely. As a therapist, I would really appreciate having someone express their thanks. It's not something people often share.

Not only does it feel good, it also helps us build trust and closer bonds with the people around us. These benefits have mostly been observed in a two-person exchange—someone saying thanks and someone receiving thanks.

A lack of empathy

Many people who never say thank you simply don't notice or appreciate kind gestures. They lack the necessary emotional intelligence and empathy to understand other people's kindness or efforts to make their lives easier.

Is it OK to give your therapist a card?

Again, you should check with your therapist first, as many won't accept a card from their clients either. But because cards are exchanged even amongst professional colleagues, some therapists may be more accepting of receiving a card. Gift-giving or card-giving to your therapist is likely to be a one-way street.

1. When you're in danger of overdosing. One of the most common prescriptions for increasing gratitude is taking time out regularly to ponder what's good about your life. This is a great idea but, when it comes to counting your blessings, more isn't always better.

Second, we often feel uncomfortable when we have to express certain emotions because we're not sure how to go about doing so. We struggle for the right words to express our feelings, and in the process we assume the receiver will feel just as uncomfortable hearing about our gratitude as we feel in expressing it.

If your partner expects you to cook, clean, shop, take care of pets or children, or do other household tasks without any recognition, that could be a sign they're not fully appreciating your contributions.

When a girl feels unappreciated, she'll start to question her own worth. She'll wonder why everything she does, all of the effort she puts into your relationship, still doesn't seem like enough for you. She'll wonder whether she's missing something, whether she's lacking in some way.

Chief among the reasons that thank-you notes are unwritten is that many people don't know what to say. They think the message has to be long and flowery when, in fact, keeping it short and to the point is more effective.

The capacity to feel and express genuine gratitude is a hallmark of psychological maturity and health. In fact, an inability to say thank you, along with extreme difficulties saying sorry, is considered typical of people with narcissistic personalities.

“Thank you for thinking of me, but unfortunately I will have to pass.” “I am not taking on any new commitments right now.” “I'm so sorry, I just cannot make it work.” “I wish I could help, but at the moment I just can't.”

The problem is that by deflecting the praise of a genuine compliment, you don't acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something. Simply saying “Thank You” fully acknowledges the person who made the compliment and allows you to enjoy the moment as well.
