UNIT 4-10　Basic Greetings

26/30

There are various ways to show your appreciation.

Thank you very much.　　

あligatoo。

POLITE　　　　　　　　　

あligatoo gozaいmas(u)。　

At your level, using the latter expression is safer. But when you speak to children, 「あligatoo」is preferable.

These expressions sound more polite if 「doomo」 is added.　
doomo 　あligatoo gozaいmas(u)。

「doomo」is sometimes used independently; however, do not use it alone at this level because it sometimes sounds too casual or even rude.
