hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and today we're going
to talk about 10 words to express
appreciation so let's go
thanks
the first word is thanks thanks thanks
is a very casual very common way to
express your appreciation for someone
it's so easy to use thanks thanks so
usually for something small someone else
has done for you or has given to you
just say thanks so in a sentence yeah
thanks that really helped
thank you
the next expression is thank you thank
you so thank you is like a step above
thanks so thanks is the most casual one
i think and then thank you is like the
next step up thank you thank you so you
can again use this in casual situations
and in more polite situations if you're
ever unsure if you ever don't know you
can just use thank you as your default
as your basic greeting thank you in a
sentence thank you for the book
thanks a lot
the next expression is thanks a lot
thanks a lot so with this expression
please make sure to use thanks a lot we
don't say thank you a lot we say thanks
a lot so please be careful with that
thanks a lot so this is a little bit
casual we use thanks here but to express
a little bit more a little bit of a
stronger appreciation you can say thanks
a lot thanks a lot in a sentence
thanks a lot for all your help this week
i really appreciate it
the next expression is i really
appreciate it i really appreciate it so
this expression is a little bit more
formal i really appreciate it so we're
using the word appreciate which means
like to show to express your
appreciation to express uh
a thankful feeling a grateful feeling so
to say i really appreciate it expresses
a strong feeling um so i really
appreciate it is for a slightly more
formal a slightly more polite situation
in a sentence
thank you for the support i really
appreciate it
you're a lifesaver
the next expression is you're a
lifesaver you're a lifesaver so a
lifesaver is uh this word actually
refers to a piece of equipment used to
save people who are drowning so there's
there's like a circle an inflatable or
like a floating circle that people um
can catch if they're like drowning or
having trouble swimming in the ocean and
a lifeguard can throw them a lifesaver
something it's a round thing that floats
so the person can hold on to it or put
it around their body but that's called a
lifesaver in this expression you're a
lifesaver means in other words you saved
my life similar to the way that a
lifesaver would save like a person
drowning so you're a lifesaver means you
really helped me a lot you saved me from
something terrible you did something
really great for me you're a lifesaver
so in a sentence you found my keys
you're a lifesaver
i'm so grateful the next expression is
i'm so grateful i'm so grateful so this
is one that you can use for more serious
situations so maybe you receive a nice
gift or maybe you get a special honor or
maybe you receive some kind of
recognition in a more formal situation
you can say i'm so grateful i'm so
grateful in a sentence
your recommendation got me into college
i'm so grateful
your kindness is greatly appreciated
this is one you might use to finish a
formal letter you could use this
perhaps to finish a formal speech i
suppose to
or to end a more formal discussion i
suppose but your kindness is greatly
appreciated kind of implies that you
want to receive something from the other
person or they have given you something
so maybe if you receive a donation of
money for example or if you receive a
lot of like volunteer support you could
say your kindness is greatly appreciated
so it's a formal and sincere expression
in a sentence thank you for the donation
your kindness is greatly appreciated
you rock
the next expression is you rock you rock
so this is a very casual expression it
means
like you rock this rock means like you
are awesome you're great you're cool i
think you're awesome amazing fantastic
so it's a very casual expression it
doesn't directly mean
thank you but rather you are awesome i
think you are great so it's a compliment
we can use this expression as a
compliment when someone helps you or
someone does something for you that's
great you really are happy about that
and you appreciate that you can say you
rock or you can substitute with any of
the other words i just said you're great
so we can use you rock or you're amazing
or you are awesome those those are
pretty good casual expressions just tell
somebody you think they're great
and to give them a compliment that means
thank you so in a sentence you already
finished the paperwork you rock
thank you so much the next expression is
thank you so much thank you so much so
this sounds like a very positive yet
casual and strong way to express your
appreciation to emphasize it even more
you can draw out that so sound thank you
so much if it's too much of a of an
extension though it will sound insincere
if you say thank you so
much it doesn't sound so sincere so kind
of think about how long you want to make
that sound thank you so much is pretty
good um so you can express casual strong
appreciation with this phrase thank you
so much in a sentence all right this
birthday cake is amazing thank you so
much
cheers
the next expression is cheers cheers so
i included cheers on this list
because it's a word that you might hear
in british and perhaps australian
english it's a word that means sort of
like thank you in advance for something
we don't use this word very much in
american english in u.s english in u.s
english we typically use cheers when
we're enjoying drinks with somebody we
touch glasses together and say cheers
when we're drinking but in other types
of english you might hear cheers used to
mean thank you in advance for something
so if we agree to maybe do a project
together or we agreed to make a i don't
know to plan a birthday party together
and you say
okay well i'll book the restaurant and i
say okay i'll send invitations to
everybody cheers it means thank you in
advance for what you are going to do for
me thank you in advance so cheers is a
nice casual way to say thank you in
advance for something in a sentence
cheers see you at the event tomorrow

appreciation i hope that those were
