Hey everybody welcome back to Let's Talk this is me your trainer Meera. Well ‘thank you’

two words combined have a really, really beautiful meaning to it, don't you think so? But you

祈使句型

know what they say these days, right? ‘Thank you’ is overrated and it’s said too many

times. But guys who has asked you to say thank you every time? I have got, ten different

variations the way you can thank people instead of saying the most overrated and overused

phrase ‘thank you’. First thing to remember thank you are two different words so remember

that because I have seen this mistake quite often thank you is not one word they're two

separate words and it's a phrase. Alright, I'm going to quickly start the lesson because

I'm super excited for it. The first up is “you are a peach”. Thank you, okay? Now

even if you don't want to say this, why are we seeing you are a peach? Where peach represents

a fruit which is very, very sweet and people usually when they have a peach, they have

a smile on their face and you are actually complimenting someone that you were such a

sweet person to help me out and I thank you. That's why I would probably call, I would

say that you are a peach or you are a darling but it's so much cooler and such a new way

to actually mention and or say thank you. Okay, moving on to the next one, “you are

my superhero”, okay? Imagine someone actually did something for you and they went out of

their way. Probably you asked someone to book your train tickets or flight tickets and they

did not even have time to do that yet they did it for you because you were in trouble.

So what can you say to them? You can just quickly message them or call them and tell

them that “you are a superhero”. Well another instance you are in your office and

your boss comes to a desk and checks that were you working or were doing something else,

there comes your friend and rescues you and talks to you about the project as though that's

what you were working on. Once the boss goes you can compliment your colleague and say

you are my superhero you saved me thank you. Isn't it nice and fun and simple? Well next

up we have “the drink is on me”. Probably at this time you are so happy that someone

helped you that whether it's alcohol or non-alcoholic you tell them that hey you know what just

drink up I'd pay for them because I'm so happy because you helped me in something and this

is my way of thanking you so “the drink is on me”, okay? Well next we would like

to say, “I owe you one”. What does that mean? That means someone has done a favor,

right? Now there are different ways, people also write… both are the same and both are

equally correct, “I owe you one” which actually means someone has done you a favor

and you have to return it back to them whenever you feel like but you tell them you make sure

that you tell them that hey you helped me this one time I will make sure I will help

you again when the time is right and when you need my help so this one is on me and

I owe you one back and probably then they can expect something from you, alright? Okay

moving on from there, “a big bear hug waiting for you”. Someone has been so sweet to you,

someone has actually done something that you really wanted someone else to do and you can

just thank them by saying you know why I'm gonna come there I'm going to give you a nice

big bear hug the way a bear's hug is warm and soft and that's a way of just simply saying

thank you. “Big bear hug” means a warm hug or a warm thank you mm-hmm, okay… next

up “my stomach wants to thank you”. You must have guessed it by now, it's all about

yummy food. You go to someone's house probably a friend or your friend's mother and they

cook delicious barbecue and pizzas and hotdogs don't you think you must thank them? But then

you realize just a plain simple thank you is not going to do justice, so you can always

tell them but I am thankful but my stomach too wants to thank you, right? This is related

to food usually that's a new way to compliment and thank someone at the same time. So go

ahead and use it the next time you eat yummy food even if it is in a restaurant you can

go in tell the chef that hey you know what thank you so much my stomach wants to thank

you too. Fun right? Moving on “this means a lot to me.” Another very, very decent

way of saying well the ones that I've mentioned here are truly informal and for your loved

ones your friends and family but this one you can also say to in a professional way

or something to someone formally as well which is completely fine. “This means a lot to

me” thank you. That means someone did something for you and it meant tremendously a lot to

you probably someone ended up giving you a chance to interview in a company you wanted

to well then not only you owe them one but also it means a lot to you and that's another

way of thanking someone. Okay “thanks for having my back”. Usually your friends and

your family are the ones who would make this gesture for you. That means someone has helped

you in a way that you were falling apart not literally but yes even probably literally

and you were on a stage or something and you forgot something and someone came and supported

you and that is having someone's back. That's supporting, okay? Supporting your friends

and family and that is when you have their back. One way to thank them thanks for having

my back guys. Thanks for having my back dude, thank you so much. Don't you think it's a

very gentleman way of thanking someone? Well go ahead and use it the next time. Next up

we have is “how thoughtful of you”. Someone has done something for you with complete conscious

efforts that hey I'm going to go visit someone's house for dinner I will make sure that I probably

carry a bottle of wine or probably dessert for sweets right and then the host or hostess

can always say hey how thoughtful of you that you've got this with you. Another way of thanking

someone right, mind mindfully helping someone okay that's being thoughtful as in mindful.

You were being smart you were being careful and you gifted someone that that they needed

something that they needed that's being very thoughtful and that's why you were mindful

when you did that, okay? Moving on to the last one my favorite can be used for informally

specifically and that is “Cheers” a way of actually saying thank you with your heart

out with your probably hands out and your face up and you go like cheers thank you so

much that's great. You can type a message with Cheers or you can say it out loud well

that calls for a celebration but we're going to end a lesson here today. Never mind I'm

going to come back with another very thoughtful and very interesting lesson for all of you

just like today until then make sure that you practice, you keep smiling, probably you

thank someone in a new way, I will see you very soon this is me Meera signing off for
