We\u2019ll share the different ways of saying <em>Thank You<\/em> in some of our featured destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"australia\">Thank You in Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While English is the main language in Australia, Aussies incorporate a lot of slang when communicating. So, saying <em>thank you<\/em> will always convey your message, but here are a few other ways you may express gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Thanks heaps!&#8221; <em>Heaps <\/em>is heaps common in Australia as another word for &#8220;very&#8221; or &#8220;a lot.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Ta.&#8221; Australians shorten many words and phrases. &#8220;Ta&#8221; is used for a quick expression of thanks. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Cheers!&#8221; It&#8217;s not just a toast, but can be used to say <em>thank you<\/em>, in celebration, and as a greeting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you in South Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people you will encounter in South Africa will be quite familiar with the English expression of <em>thank you<\/em>; however, learning to express gratitude in their language is a meaningful way to show respect. While South Africa has many indigenous languages, Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans are among the most widely spoken languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Ngiyabonga&#8221; or &#8220;Siyabonga&#8221; are ways to say <em>thank you<\/em> in Zulu to one or multiple people. Both are pronounced as they are spelled, <em>ngee-ya-bong<\/em>a and <em>see-ya-bonga<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Enkosi.&#8221; This is the expression for <em>thank you<\/em> in Xhosa. When spoken, it may sound like that &#8220;i&#8221; at the end is dropped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cDankie.\u201d This is the standard way to say&nbsp;<em>thank you<\/em> in Afrikaans. \u201cBaie dankie\u201d adds weight to the expression, meaning&nbsp;<em>thank you very much<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Shot.&#8221; This means <em>thanks<\/em> in South African English slang, used more in informal settings around family and friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frenchpolynesia\">Thank you in French Polynesia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The official languages of French Polynesia are French and Tahitian. French is commonly spoken in businesses, while Tahitian is mostly used by islanders in their homes. English is considered a third language and is spoken in tourist areas, resorts, and restaurants. Showing gratitude by saying <em>thank you<\/em> in their language will surely make a good impression with locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Merci.&#8221; This is French for <em>thanks<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Mauru\u2019 uru.&#8221; Pronounced <em>mah-roo-roo<\/em>, this is Tahitian for <em>thank you<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Mauru&#8217; uru roa.&#8221; Show even more appreciation with the expression for <em>thanks very much<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"newzealand\">Thank you in New Zealand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>English is the predominant language in New Zealand, with pronunciations being most similar to Australian English. Meanwhile, the M\u0101ori language of the indigenous M\u0101ori people is closely related to Tahitian. Unofficially, Kiwi slang could be a language all on its own! Here are a few different ways to show gratitude in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Ng\u0101 mihi.&#8221; Pronounced <em>nya-mee-hee<\/em>, this is a versatile phrase meaning <em>regards <\/em>or <em>with thanks<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Kia ora.&#8221; Pronounced <em>kee-oh-ra<\/em>, this is a way to express <em>thanks <\/em>in M\u0101ori, but is also used as a greeting. It translates literally to &#8220;be healthy.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;T\u0113n\u0101 koe&#8221; (to one person), &#8220;t\u0113n\u0101 k\u014drua&#8221; (to two people), or &#8220;t\u0113n\u0101 koutou&#8221; (to three or more people) also means <em>thank you<\/em> in M\u0101ori.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Chur.&#8221; This is classic Kiwi slang to express appreciation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we celebrate a month of gratitude for Thanksgiving in the U.S., our November phrase of the month is Thank You.
