정말 감사합니다.
When to use
This is a strong expression of thanks, used when you are very grateful for something someone has done. It is more emphatic than a simple 'thank you'.
Speech Level
The '-ㅂ니다' ending marks this as a formal polite statement, suitable for showing sincere appreciation in respectful contexts.
How it works
This phrase consists of an adverb modifying a verb, followed by a polite ending. The subject (I) is omitted.
- 정말: Adverb meaning 'really' or 'truly'.
- 감사하다: Verb meaning 'to be thankful'.
- -ㅂ니다: Formal polite declarative sentence ending.
Pronunciation
The 'ㅂ' in '합니다' changes to an 'ㅁ' [m] sound due to nasalization before the following 'ㄴ', making the pronunciation [감사함니다].
Notes
Express strong gratitude in a polite and formal manner.
