Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 感谢 (gǎnxiè) is composed of two characters: 感 (gǎn) and 谢 (xiè). The character 感 originally meant "to feel" or "to perceive," and it is often used in the context of emotions or sensations. The character 谢 originally meant "to thank" or "to express gratitude," and it is often used in polite expressions of appreciation. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 感谢, which means "to express gratitude" or "to thank someone." This word is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing to express appreciation for someone's kindness, help, or support.
