Say Thank you in Japanese

August 29th, 2023

Hey Guys, I don’t know if it is the correct place to ask about this , Sorry.
I had watched a few anime and they say thank by saying “rei o you” I don’t know the correct spell and that’s what I want to know , the correct spell, the meaning for those word is this , I thank you or you have my gratitude, I heard those word in One Piece, after Zoro defeat Daz Bones and when Suoh Mikoto kill Shiro&Colourless King in K Project / K. Sorry and Thanks need those word really bad.
Thanks in advance.

Answer #1
The thanks I know is arigato gozaimasu. Arigato alone is ok, but with gozaimasu it’s more polite. I watch One Piece too, rei o you that doesn’t ring a bell, but I don’t think I got to where you are…
Answer #2
What they say is…”Arigatō”
Use Google translate…they give you an audio of the words also.

I don’t know Japanese at all except for the word Arigato Gozaimas

I heard arigato gozaimasu was like “thank you so much” and arigato alone just “thank you.”

^^Strange, I’m sure before the downtime this topic was larger and that I made a few other comments. Anyways, not that I’m the expert, but I thought it mostly comes down to who you say it and thus how polite you must/want to be. Also, what I really thought I added in this topic before, the Japanese have different things they say in different situations, which ultimately could mean the same thing, except for those nuances one only understands when one fully knows the language. These nuances often get lost in translation, that’s probably why different expressions get translated into ‘thank you’ for instance….

I think they have lost at least a weeks worth of posts from the whole board, from what I can see anyway (even pm’s etc).
Answer #7
The only thing I can think of at this moment is “orei” which cames across more or less as “thanking, expression of gratitude”, “expressing your gratitude”… sorry can’t write kanji or hiragana where I’m at so that you could check it better…

Arigato is very casual.
Arigato Gozaimasu is more formal.
Kansha Itashimasu is very formal.
