Throughout the year, people are always wishing
and giving greetings to each other, right?
So it could be for happy diwali, happy New Year.
Happy holy, happy Halloween.
Also, right now, what do we end up saying?
Same to you. Why?
Because we're tired of typing a message
or we're tired of saying, hey, happy
Biwali back or Happy New Year back.
So we end up just saying same to you.
Now, this could be a little monotonous and
also a bit boring, don't you agree?
So actually, I stand guilty of the same.
But today, okay, I would like to share with
you 20 better responses and greetings and wishes where
you can avoid saying same to you.
Are you set for this?
Because I can't wait to share these with you.
My name is Christine, and welcome to let's Talk.
Now, one way you can say this
response is back at you, okay?
Which means it's the same wishes to you.
So instead of just saying same to you, you can actually
say back at you, which means I mean the same thing.
Okay?
The next one is similar to back at
you, which is right back at ya.
It's a very informal, very slang way
of saying it right back at ya.
Okay, so have a great day.
You can say that as well.
So this is very sweet and nice and cool.
I was about to say that. Guess what?
You stole my greetings.
And you can accompany that with
a bright emoji smiley like me.
Okay, so this is really sweet and I love this one.
So use it and you'll see a bright smile back at you.
Okay? Wow.
I don't know what to say.
Isn't this a wonderful way to
say, your message was so different?
I just don't know what to say.
So thanks.
Okay, let's move on to the next one.
You two have the same time.
So if you're saying, hey, have a
great time, have a great weekend.
Hey, you two have the same time.
All right, the next one is the feeling is mutual.
Well, I also use this quite a
lot where you want to say mutual.
If you go to see mutual means the same.
It's a very mutual feeling. I feel the same.
So this feeling is mutual.
So it's like saying I wish you the same back.
All right, Ditto, have an awesome holiday or festival.
Now, this could be actually used for whatever
festival you're wishing that person for, right?
It could be.
Have a happy Diwali or Happy
New Year or happy Halloween.
Just replace it accordingly. All right?
Now, Ditto, the word if you go to
see it also means the same to you.
It also means the same thing. Right?
So it's a very cute word.
And if you've seen the movie Ghost when Demi Moore
says I love you, or was it Patrick Swayze?
In response, they get ditter, AHA, what a movie.
Watch it. All right.
So isn't this amazing, don't you think?
So instead of just saying same to you,
so try using these phrases and sentences and
messages and you'll see the difference.
Okay?
Now, another thing you can say
is, appreciate that, thanks a ton.
Now, what does ton mean?
Ton is like a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot.
Okay, so it's another way of saying thanks
a lot, but you say ton, okay?
So appreciate that means, I really
appreciate it, thanks a ton.
This is something I use a lot as well.
The same applies to you.
So if they're sending you a lovely wish,
you say the same applies to you.
Sweet, simple, straightforward, likewise, man or girl.
So it's another way of saying, hey,
girl, hey, dude, hey, guy, hey, whatever. Okay?
It's likewise.
So another way of saying, it's mutual,
it's likewise, I feel the same. Okay.
The next one is, I wish the same for you too.
Very sweetly put.
Whatever wishes you've given me, I wish
the same for you as well.
Okay, now that's the best wish I could have asked for.
Now, wow, how sweet is that, right?
Somebody really takes their time to send you a
different wish, a special wish, and saying, I really
wish the most magical year for you, for example.
And they say, you know what?
That's the best wish I could ask for.
Say it with all your heart, because
this is a very sincere reply.
Use it.
Now, hoping alike for you means I'm
hoping the same for you as well.
So it's not just saying same to you, but another
nice way of saying hoping a like for you.
So another one you can use
is, that's really nice of you.
Now imagine when the way I'm saying it right,
I mean it with my heart, this message is
the same, that's really nice of you.
So the receiver will feel the same.
So that's a lovely reply.
Aren't you the cutest or the sweetest?
I tend to use this as well.
So when somebody says something really nice
or really sweet, you're just like, oh,
it's one of those all messages.
Aren't you just the cutest or the sweetest?
And they'll equally feel nice about your reply.
Love to hear that.
You are quadruple times more. Wow.
So that's like quadruple.
Do you know what this is?
Four times more or many times more. Okay.
It's a very unique way of putting that across.
So when you say, that was awesome, I loved it. Okay?
And you are so much more than that.
So wishing you the same in
a wonderful way, I love that.
It's a very unique way of sending a reply.
Use it and tell me if this works. Okay?
Now here, I wish the best for you too.
This is again, very slang.
So if you're comfortable, you can use it.
If you feel it's part of your personality, you can.
If not, then you can just say, hey,
I wish the best for you, too.
All right.
That's awesome of you.
If somebody has done you a favor or
sent something or gift anything or a wish,
you can just say, that's awesome of you. Thank you.
That's really sweet of you. Okay.
Thanks for the kind words.
I feel the same for you.
If somebody says, you're such a lovely person,
and you're so kind and you're so thoughtful,
you can say, hey, you know what?
Your words are really kind,
so that's a lovely compliment. So thank you.
And I think the same for you, too.
I feel the same for you.
So these are amazing ways to
respond to a wish, a message.
When it's a festival, it could be anything, right?
These are different ways of replying.
And make sure you use them, because I'd love
to know how you're getting responded back to.
Now I have one last one for you.
Okay, ready?
This, by far, is my all time favorite.
It's how thoughtful of you.
Which means you know, what you thought about me.
You were considerate and you were
kind, and thank you so much.
How thoughtful of you.
So this is something, in fact, I used this
morning because somebody had sent something for me, and
I just replied, and I said, you know what?
That was really thoughtful of you.
Thank you so much.
So this is genuine and really sweet. So, wow.
What did you all think of
all these amazing, unique responses?
Well, the festive season is here, and I would love for
you to use these phrases and messages as replies, and I
would love to know how you have been responded to.
Okay, so let me know in the comments
before which one is your favorite, and make
sure you share it with everybody else.
Have a wonderful time.
This is Christine, and I can't wait
to see you in our next lesson. Bye.
