How do I express gratitude in Ukrainian
In Ukrainian, the most common way to express gratitude is by saying Дякую (d’akuju), which means “Thank you.” To emphasize your gratitude, you can say Дуже дякую (duzhe d’akuju) meaning “Thank you very much,” or Щиро дякую (shchyro d’akuju) for “Sincerely thank you.” Another common word is Спасибі (spasybi), also meaning “Thank you.”
For more heartfelt thanks, phrases like Сердечно дякую (serdechno d’akuju), meaning “Thank you from my heart,” are used. If you want to thank someone for something specific, you can say Дякую за… (d’akuju za…), meaning “Thank you for…” followed by the reason, like Дякую за вечерю (“Thank you for dinner”).
These expressions cover everyday and formal ways to convey gratitude in Ukrainian. The politeness and warmth behind the words are very important in Ukrainian culture.
