Whether you’re just learning French or about to take a trip to a French-speaking country, «thank you» is one of the first phrases you should learn. The basic way to say thank you in French is merci (MAIR-see), but in some situations, that simple, two-syllable word may not seem like enough. Just as in English, there are alternative phrases in French that you can use to express your gratitude.[1]

    1

    Say «merci.» The single word merci is the most common way to say «thank you» in French. It is used by all French speakers and will be understood anywhere in the world where French is spoken.[2]

    • Merci is used in both formal and casual settings, and the spelling does not change regardless of the person you’re thanking.
    • You can say «merci» while smiling and nodding if you want to accept something offered to you. Likewise, you can turn down something offered by saying «merci» while shaking your head.

    Add «madame» (mah-DAHM) or «monsieur» (muh-SYUHR) for politeness. If you’re speaking to someone you don’t know, especially someone older than you or in a position of authority, follow your thanks with the appropriate French word for «ma’am» or «sir.»[3]

    • Use these words whenever you would address someone as «ma’am» or «sir» in English. When in doubt, err on the side of politeness and allow the other person to correct you if they don’t want you to address them so formally.

    Use adjectives to show extreme gratitude. Sometimes the simple word merci just doesn’t seem like enough. There are several words and phrases you can add to it if you want to emphasize your gratitude to the person.[4]

    • The most common is merci beaucoup (MAIR-see BOW-koo), which means «thank you very much» or «thanks a lot.»
    • Another common expression is merci mille fois or mille mercis, which means «a thousand thanks» or «thank you a thousand times.»
  4. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 4

    Watch your tone when saying «merci bien.» The word bien (BEE-ehn) means «well» or «good,» and when used with merci the phrase means «thanks a lot.» However, French speakers may interpret this particular phrase as being sarcastic.[5]

    • For example, someone might say «Merci bien, mais j’ai pas que ça à faire!» or «Thanks a lot, but I have better things to do!»
    • When in doubt, you’re generally better off using «merci beaucoup» instead of «merci bien.»
  5. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 5

    5

    Add pour (pohr) to thank someone for something specific. The word pour means «for» in French, and would be used before the name of the action or object given to you. If you’re a native English speaker, note that even though this word is spelled the same as the English verb «pour,» it is pronounced more like «pore.»[6]

    • For example, you might say «Merci pour les fleurs,» or «thank you for the flowers.»
  6. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 6

    6

    Try «c’est vraiment gentil de votre/ton part» (say VRAY-mahn ZHAHN-tee duh VOH-truh/tohn pahr). If someone does you a favor or offers you something, you might want to include a statement of how nice they are. This phrase literally means «this is really nice on your part.» Use votre for older people you don’t know, and ton for friends, or people your own age and younger.[7]

    • Use this phrase in the same contexts when you would say «that’s very nice of you» or «how kind of you» in English.
    • Just as in English, you can combine this phrase with the word merci. For example, if you were sweating on a hot day and someone offered you a cool glass of water, you might say «C’est vraiment gentil de ton part, merci!»

    1

    Pay attention to context. The verb remercier means «to thank» in French, but its usage is much more formal than it would be to use the similar verb in English. Generally speaking, this verb is best used in formal, written communication.[8]

    • You also might use it conversationally in more formal settings, such as during a job interview or while speaking to law enforcement or other government authority.
  2. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 8

    2

    Conjugate the verb correctly. In most cases, you’ll be using the first-person singular form of the verb remercier, since you are the one thanking someone. Use the first-person plural if you are expressing thanks on behalf of yourself and someone else.[9]

    • Remercier is a reflexive verb. Be careful to conjugate it based on the subject of the sentence, not the person you are thanking. Use the formal reflexive pronoun vous for people who are older than you or in a position of authority.
    • To say «I thank you,» you would say «je te remercie» (zhuh tuh ray-MAIR-see) or «je vous remercie» (zhuh voo ray-MAIR-see).
    • To say «we thank you,» you would say «nous te remercions» (noo tuh ray-MAIR-see-ohn) or «nous vous remercions» (noo voo ray-MAIR-see-ohn).
  3. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 9

    3

    Include the object of thanks. Just as when saying merci, you can use the word pour to state specifically what you are thanking the other person for. This would most commonly be used when thanking someone long after the fact for something they gave to you or did for you earlier.[10]

    • For example, if you saw someone who had sent you flowers last week for your birthday, you might say «Je te remercie pour les fleurs,» or «I thank you for the flowers.»
  4. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 10

    4

    Express thanks with remercier when writing letters. An expression of gratitude often occurs at the end of a letter, such as when you’re requesting something from a business or government official in a more formal context.[11]

    • For example, if you were writing a letter to an employer to apply for a job, you might conclude your letter with «je vous remercie de votre attention,» which means «I thank you for your attention.»
  5. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 11

    5

    Use the noun form of remercier in formal writing. As in English, the French verb remercier can also be used as a noun. Create the noun form of the verb by dropping the ending and adding -ments.[12]

    • The word remerciements typically is used in a letter or email, when you are sending along thanks to someone. The s at the end indicates this is a plural word – thanks. Typically it’s used in the plural, not the singular. Remember to include the article «les» in front of it.
    • For example, if you were passing along someone else’s gratitude, you might write «Tu as les remerciements de Pascal,» or «you have Pascal’s thanks.»
    • Remerciements also can be used in the closing of a letter. For example, you might write «avec tout mes remerciements,» which means «with all my thanks» or «with all my gratitude.»

    1

    Say «de rien» (duh RREE-ehn). This is the easiest and most common way to respond when someone expresses thanks to you. The literal translation is «of nothing,» but it is used the same way you would say «it’s nothing» in English or «de nada» in Spanish.[13]

    • The word rien uses the French R, which can be one of the most difficult French sounds for English speakers to make correctly. The French R is a guttural sound pronounced from your throat, not the tip of your tongue as in English.
    • You can also say «ce n’est rien» (suh nay RREE-ehn), which translates more directly to «it is nothing.»
  2. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 13

    2

    Use «merci à toi» (MAIR-see ah twah) to thank someone in return. There may be occasions where someone thanks you for something when you feel that it’s really you who should be thanking them. This phrase is similar to saying «No, thank you» in English.[14]

    • Remember to use vous instead of toi with older people or strangers, to show respect.
  3. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 14

    3

    Alternate with «il n’y a pas de quoi» (eel nee-YAH pahs duh kwah). As in English, there are a variety of phrases you can use when someone says «thank you» in French. Although the literal translation is nonsensical in English (literally «there is nothing of what»), «Il n’y a pas de quoi» is used to mean «it’s nothing» or «don’t mention it.»[15]

    • This phrase can be used both in casual and more formal speech, regardless of the person you’re thanking.
  4. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 15

    4

    Say «pas de problème» (pah duh prahb-LEHM) in casual settings. When a friend or acquaintance expresses their gratitude, you can respond with this phrase, which means «no problem» or «not a problem» in English.

    • If you’re unsure when to use this phrase, think about when you would say «no problem» in English. You probably wouldn’t use a phrase this casual with someone significantly older than you, or with a government official.
  5. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 16

    5

    Try «je vous en prie» (zhuh vooz-ahn pree) or «je t’en prie» (zhuh tahn pree) when speaking more formally. This phrase literally means «I beg of you,» but is used in situations where you want to impress upon the person thanking you that there’s no need for their gratitude.

    • When deciding when to use this phrase, think about times in English when you would say something like «Oh, please! Don’t mention it!» These occasions are perfect for «je t’en prie.»
    • You’ll be more likely to use vous with this phrase, since it’s typically more formal.
  6. Image titled Say Thank You in French Step 17

    6

    Use bienvenue in Quebec. The word bienvenue literally means «welcome,» as in the word you would use to welcome someone to a place. Although this word typically isn’t used as a response to thanks by other French speakers, it is common among the Quebeçois.[16]

    • For example, if you were in a café in Montreal and thanked your server for bringing your latte, the server might respond «bienvenue.»

Merci — Thank you

Merci is quite a flexible word—it can be used in both informal and formal contexts.

If you want to be a bit more formal in your thanks, you can append merci with Madame or Monsieur. While Mademoiselle can also be used, it’s best to avoid this term, as it’s been falling out of favor recently due to the potentially rude connotation.

Merci beaucoup — Thank you very much

Merci beaucoup is quite similar to merci: it’s versatile and can be appropriate for most contexts. It simply communicates a somewhat greater level of gratitude.

So you can choose whether to employ merci or merci beaucoup based on how strongly you feel about what someone’s done for you. You might say merci to someone who takes you out for coffee and merci beaucoup to someone who takes you out to a nice meal.

Merci mille fois — A thousand thanks

Merci mille fois is, in essence, an even stronger version of merci. It literally means “thank you (merci) a thousand (mille) times (fois),” and expresses deep gratitude.

Building on the earlier example, if you say merci to someone who treats you to a cup of coffee and you say merci beaucoup to one who buys you a nice meal, then you might say merci mille fois to someone who makes you a three-course dinner from scratch.

Merci à tous — Thanks to you all (plural)

This phrase is used to thank a group of people.

It’s a more general statement, making it good to use, for instance, when a group of friends pitch in on a birthday gift for you. You don’t know exactly who thought of the gift, who wrapped it, who spent what, etc. Thus, merci à tous is a good way to include everyone involved in your thank you.

Merci bien — Thanks a lot (sarcastic)

Pay attention to this one! Although it has merci in it, merci bien can be used sarcastically:

Tu as laissé tous les plats sales pour moi. Merci bien! (You left all the dirty dishes for me. Thanks a lot!)

It’s good to know this so that you don’t say it to someone you’re trying to genuinely thank, and so you’re aware in case someone ever ends up saying it to you.

Je te remercie/Je vous remercie — I thank you (personal)

This one is more personal. Instead of simply saying merci, in which “I” and “you” are implied, we actually identify the two parties involved (the one giving thanks as well as the one being thanked).

Remember to say te when you’re in a casual situation, such as with a friend or relative, and vous when the occasion is formal, such as with a boss.

To take it a step further and explain why you’re thanking someone, add pour (for) and a noun, or de and a verb.

For example, you might say:

Je te remercie pour ton cadeau généreux. (I thank you for your generous gift.)

Je vous remercie de m’avoir donné l’information. (I thank you for giving me the information.)

You can use the same constructions with merci. 

Cimer — Thanks (slang, verlan)

Verlan is a type of French slang that takes words and plays around with them, often flipping them. In this case, the word merci was split up into two parts (mer and ci), then the two parts were switched to make cimer.

This is a very informal slang term that’s most often used by the younger generation among friends of the same age.

Mci — Thx (slang, written)

Five letters is just too much to type, isn’t it? That’s why internet and text slang shortens merci to three short letters: mci.

A few more versions of thanks exist in text slang only, and often utilize numbers:

MDAMerci d’avance (Thanks in advance)

MR6Merci (Thanks)

P2KPas de quoi (You’re welcome)

2ri1De rien (You’re welcome)

Avec tous mes remerciements — With all my thanks (formal, written)

The main difference between this phrase and the earlier ones is that avec tous mes remerciements is formal. It’s often used at the end of a formal French email or letter. For instance:

Cher Monsieur,

J’ai entendu de votre organization d’un ami. Je voudrais aider les SDF et mon ami a dit que vous avez besoin de plus de bénévoles. Je m’intéresse à cette opportunité. Quelle sorte de travail est-ce qu’on ferait?

Aves tous mes remerciements,

Mme. Larsen 

Dear Sir,

I heard of your organization from a friend. I would like to help the homeless [SDF stands for sans domicile fixe, meaning “without fixed housing,” or simply “homeless”—great cultural insight to be familiar with!] and my friend said that you need more volunteers. I am interested in this opportunity. What sort of work would we do?

With all my thanks,

Ms. Larsen

Note that in formal writing, such as business emails and official paperwork, mademoiselle generally isn’t used, even if the woman in question is unmarried.

Avec mes remerciements anticipés — Thanking you in advance (formal)

This phrase is a formal way to thank the recipient for something they’re going to do.

In fact, this phrase would work just as well in the email example above, because we’re asking for information. It’s great to use when asking for things, such as a file, answers to questions, a face-to-face meeting, etc.

You could also say merci d’anticipe (thank you in advance) which has the same basic meaning but is more colloquial and may be used in both formal and informal contexts.

How to Practice Giving a Genuine French “Thank You”

For some quick practice, write a thank-you note. It could be based on something someone actually did for you, or you can be creative (extra credit!) and imagine a scenario that would make you want to express your gratitude in writing.

You can also create flashcards to review these various ways to say thank you. Another option is to see these expressions of gratitude in use by native French speakers, like through the FluentU program.

FluentU lets you watch authentic French videos with the option to add any word in a video to a flashcard deck. You can also search for the word and the program will pull up videos where it’s used naturally.

Hearing words use naturally and completing interactive exercises are two great ways to commit the usage of these words and phrases to memory. You can do both on FluentU, whether you opt to use the program on the website or through the iOS or Android app.

For another, more focused activity, write/act out a dialogue that calls for using one or more of the words/phrases here. Think about which one would be most appropriate for each situation (there aren’t always right or wrong answers—some of these words are flexible or have similar meanings, leaving it up to the speaker to decide).

If you’re out of dialogue scenario ideas, try your hand at these examples:

  • You just finished a lovely lunch at a Parisian café (dreams can come true). What do you say to the waiter as you leave?
  • You were recently interviewed for a prestigious job in your field. What would you write in the body of an email as a follow-up/thank-you? (Hint: this is a great opportunity to put formal French to use!)
  • You’re in the hospital recovering from surgery and a group of friends visit you. What do you say to them?

As a final point, it’s also important to know what the response may be if you thank somebody in French. For this, you’ll want to learn the different ways and formalities of using “you’re welcome” in French.

Being aware of these different phrases will help your fluency and keep the conversation going.

1. 12 Ways to say ‘Thank you’ in French

1- Thank you.

Merci !

The magical words that can bring a smile to any face. For one day, truly mean it whenever you say these words, and see how this lifts your spirit too!

2- That’s very kind of you.

C’est très gentil à vous/ à toi.

This phrase is appropriate when someone clearly goes out of their way to give good service, or to offer you a kindness.

3- Thanks for your kind words!

Merci pour ces gentilles paroles!

Someone paid you a compliment and made you feel good? That is kind of him/her, so express your gratitude!

4- Thank you for coming today.

Je vous remercie d’être venu(e)s aujourd’hui.

This welcoming phrase should be part of your arsenal if you’re conducting more formal meetings with French speakers. If you’re hosting a party, this is also a good phrase when you greet your French guests!

5- Thank you for your consideration.

Merci pour votre considération.

This is a more formal, almost solemn way to thank someone for their thoughtfulness and sensitivity towards you. It is also suitable to use when a native speaker has to consider something you submit, like a job application, a project or a proposal. You are thanking them, in essence, for time and effort they are about to, or have spent on your submission.

6- Thanks a lot!

Merci beaucoup!

This means the same as ‘Thank you’, but with energy and enthusiasm added! It means almost the same as ‘thank you so much’ in French. Use this in an informal setting with your French friends or teachers.

7- Teachers like you are not easy to find.

Les enseignants comme vous ne sont pas faciles à trouver.

Some phrases are compliments, which express gratitude by inference. This is one of them. If you’re particularly impressed with your FrenchPod101 teacher, this is an excellent phrase to memorize!

8- Thank you for spending time with us.

Merci de passer du temps avec nous.

Any host at a gathering with French speakers, such as a meeting or a party, should have this under his/her belt! Use it when you’re saying goodbye or busy closing a meeting. It could also be another lovely way to thank your French language teacher for her time.

9- Thank you for being patient and helping me improve.

Merci d’être patient(e) et de m’aider à m’améliorer.

This phrase is another sure way to melt any formal or informal French teacher’s heart! Teaching is not easy, and often a lot of patience is required from the teacher. Thank him/her for it! It’s also a good phrase to use if you work in France, and want to thank your trainer or employer. You will go a long way towards making yourself a popular employee – gratitude is the most attractive trait in any person!

10- You’re the best teacher ever!

Vous êtes le/la meilleur(e) professeur(e) que je n’ai jamais eu(e)!

This is also an enthusiastic way to thank your teacher by means of a compliment. It could just make their day!

11- Thank you for the gift.

Merci pour le cadeau.

This is a good phrase to remember when you’re the lucky recipient of a gift. Show your respect and gratitude with these words.

12- I have learned so much thanks to you.

J’ai tellement appris grâce à vous.

What a wonderful compliment to give a good teacher! It means they have succeeded in their goal, and you’re thankful for it.

2. Video Lesson: Learn to Say ‘Thank You’ in 3 Minutes

In French, you only need one word for expressing gratitude: merci. And for emphasis, you can say merci beaucoup. In either case, in no situation is merci or merci beaucoup considered inappropriate. You can use them as often as you like without regard for age difference, gender difference, formality, or casualness. However, since there is no other way to express gratitude in speech, we often say merci in a mechanical way. In the Cultural Insight section of this lesson, we will look at two ways in which to make merci more personal.

Cultural Insights
A Little Something Extra Politeness-Wise

As we just mentioned, you can never say merci too much in France. Showing gratitude, especially for newcomers, can be a very successful way to have the French warm up to you. So one way to make merci more personal is to use it generously. For instance, if you ask a question in a shop or restaurant, it is a good idea to make eye contact and say merci or merci beaucoup at the end of the exchange. This is the same when getting off a bus or out of a taxi, after an exchange with a waiter, or really after speaking with anyone. If you make the extra effort to look the person in the eye and say merci, the person will feel acknowledged. It can be refreshing, especially in a culture that can be quite formal and make gratitude somewhat automatic. However, on the flip side, don’t be surprised if you don’t have as many mercis coming back to you-at first.

You can show gratitude with people you don’t know personally by adding the word monsieur or madame at the end. For instance, if someone-say a shopkeeper-helps you and you want to show your appreciation while keeping a distance, say Merci, monsieur (“Thank you, sir”.) for a man and Merci, madame (“Thank you, madam.” ) for a woman. In fact, you can add monsieur or madame at the end of any address to a stranger to make it ring with more politeness and respect.

On the run to France? Wait! You can’t go without some basic language phrases under your belt! Especially if you’re heading to meet your prospective employer! Either in person or online, knowing how to say ‘Thank you’ in the French language will only improve their impression of you! FrenchPod101 saves you time with this short lesson that nevertheless packs a punch. Learn to say ‘Thank you’ in French in no time!
