هذا لطف كبير منك.

When to use

This standard Arabic (MSA) phrase expresses strong appreciation for someone's kindness or helpfulness. It is used when someone has gone out of their way to assist you.

How it works

The phrase translates to 'This is great kindness from you'. 'Hadha' (this), 'lutf' (kindness, grace), 'kabir' (great, big), 'mink' (from you).

• هذا لطف كبير (hadha lutf kabir): this is great kindness
• منك (mink): from you (male singular)

Gender and Address

'Mink' is used when addressing a male. If addressing a female, you would say 'minki' (منكِ). If addressing a group, 'minkum' (منكم).

Dialectal Variation

Dialects often have more direct expressions. Egyptian Arabic might say 'keda gamda awi minnak' (كده جامدة قوي منك - this is very great from you). Levantine Arabic often uses 'kullak zoq' (كلك ذوق - you are all taste/kindness).

Notes

Appreciates extra help. Neutral polite wording.
