If someone thanks you by saying this phrase, it means that they know you did a big favor to them. At the end of the day, thanking is also a way to show affection. For example, your friend might tell you Te aprecio mucho, amigo (I appreciate you, my friend). You’ll understand if they’re using it as thanking or as affection through the context of the situation.

Apreciar as a way of thanking could also be used in other phrases, like Aprecio el favor (I appreciate the favor) or just lo aprecio (I appreciate it).Īprecio can also be a way of affection between people. This is “I appreciate what you did for me”. Remember that in Spanish, words have gender. If you are a man, it is agradecido but if you are a woman, it should be agradecida. And if you want to express gratitude with even more intensity, add eternamente (eternally): Estoy eternamente agradecido (I’m eternally grateful). If you are very grateful, add muy (very): Estoy muy agradecido (I’m very grateful). Or add the le for more formal people and situations, so it would be, le estoy agradecido. You can also add the te, so it would be te estoy agradecido (I’m thankful to you). Or simply when you are extremely grateful. It’s usually said when you were under pressure and someone did you a favor and you feel relieved. This is like “a thousand thanks”, but even more grateful because it means “a million thanks”. It is the Spanish version of “a thousand thanks”. This is used in a more friendly but super thankful way. So, you would say, t e lo agradezco mucho or s e lo agradezco mucho. This phrase also has a way of adding another level of gratitude, just by including the word mucho (very). Or if you ask for an address to a complete stranger, and he/she helps you out, you can use, s e lo agradezco. For example: at the end of a doctor’s appointment, you can say, S e lo agradezco, doctor (Thank you, doctor). It’s also used with people that you don’t know at all. This is especially for authorities, very important people, or even old people. If you want to add even more formality, you can use se. But sometimes it’s also used with friends and close ones. Like if you ask a favor from a coworker that you don’t know very well. This way of thanking is usually said to people that we don’t know very much and in formal places.

The muchísimas adds an “extra” to the phrase. But if you are feeling even more grateful, you can also say muchísimas gracias. It is like the English phrase “thank you very much”. This is to give thanks when you’re feeling very grateful.
