“Kamsahamnida” or “komapsumnida”Kahm sah hahm nee dahKoh mahp soom nee dahMore informally, you could say KomawoyoKoh mah wuh yohKamsahamnida 감사합니다 is more formal. It comes from Chinese, and also exists in Japanese (感謝 though it is rarely used there) The word is “kamsa” and has “hada/hamnida” added to the end to make it a verb. Foreigners in Korea all know this word, whether they speak Korean or not. Komapsumnida 고마워요/고맙습니다 is less formal, and is a native Korean word. It is a verb on its own. Foreigners don’t usually use this word. An astute Korean will sometimes notice this, and using it can let someone know that you actually speak the language. If you say kamsahamnida, no one will mind, though. A very informal, cutesy way of saying it is “kamsa-kamsa.”edit: Some of the spellings and pronunciations people have given are wrong. Most are right, though, even some of the ones that differ from mine. Korean transliteration is kind of ambiguous, and the only official systems will be impossible to pronounce correctly by someone who doesn’t know them. (gomaWEOyo, for example)... Show More

It’s more likely that u say it to your friend. 생유 is from the English word “thank you”, but it’s put in a Korean way… Thank you very 감사 (Thank you very gam sah) – it’s best to not say it to elders. It’s more likely that u say it to your friend. Some people say it when they are trying to be funny… ㄳ is used when you chat with people. It’s short for 감사 (gahm sah) from the ㄱ and ㅅ.... Show More

like in many asian languages, there are many ways to say thank you in korean depending on formal or informal and who you are speaking to. I don’t know all the ways to say thank you but here are the ones i know:Kamsahamnida (most common one used, if you aren’t sure which to use in a situation just use this one)Komopta Kumawa (these two are not as formal)Man-ga gaum nida (this one is really formal, usually used to adress the king. i think it literally means you are too kind or something like that)...

What other people said is right about different ways to say thank you. It is somewhat complicated by having to change it depending on who you are talking to. Here is a site that will let you hear what the somewhat less formal ways of saying thank you sound like.http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/korean/kkl100/lesson05/i…... Show More
