It’s said that GRACIAS is one of the three magic words you need to know in every country you visit. And if you think of it, it’s an awesome word to say whenever you have the opportunity.

I personally love the positive impact of the word, and fully endorse it!

However, even if you want to express gratitude, you may be unsure as to what’s the right way of saying it. That’s what this post will hopefully provide you with.

Let’s dive into it.

Muchas gracias
This is your go-to option when it comes to saying Thank you. Of course, you can say ‘gracias’.

Pay attention to the femenine form of muchas. Many times, students make the mistake of saying ‘mucho gracias’.

Muchas muchas gracias
Just a bit beyond the previous one.

Mil gracias
If you take one step further, mil gracias is there for you. There’s usually a reason for expressing more gratitud, such as a favor or help given in a certain situation.

Gracias por todo
This is a great one at restaurants, friends’ houses, hotels and any other place where you’ve felt welcome.

Gracias totales
Gustavo Cerati, leader of a legendary Argentinian rock band (Soda Stereo), sent this phrase into posterity on the last show of the band.

You can use it informally with friends and people you know for a touch of Argentinianship.

Te agradezco mucho
You can use agradecer as a verb and say this.

Gracias a vos
It’s very common to hear gracias a vos when the person who received ‘gracias’ deflects it back to you.

I think that’s pretty much it.

If you have any other question, please leave it below.
