The best language to show my gratitude

1 of the most noble word for me is
"Thanks"

I used to use the word thanks to express my gratitude to others
There are some other languages I've google from the internet which have the same meaning with thanks are:

谢谢
Merci
Danke
Graze
Arigato
Kamsahamnida
Obrigado
Gracias
Nandri
Terima Kasih


These are some world common language for thanks.
Each of the word representing a feel of gratitude of somebody.
This isn't just a word
This isn't just a word to speak
This isn't just a word to speak to someone
But
This is a word to show how you feel
This is a word to show your gratitude to others
This is a word to express yourself.

Among all the languages that I've learn before
The best language to express my gratitude is

"MALAY"

"TERIMA KASIH"

Terima Kasih is two individual word
Each of the word bring different meanings
But when we combine this two words together
Amazingly, this two words change to be 1 word and represent the most noble feeling of oneself.

Terima = Accept
Kasih= Kindness
Terima + Kasih = Accept Kindness

It's like an action to show others. [I accept your kindness to me]
Actions is always better than words. LOL
Unlike other languages which I've learn,
A thanks or a 谢谢 will only bring the meaning of showing gratitude
But no meaning of action in it
That's why I think that Malay brings both feelings and action together in a simple

"TERIMA KASIH"

I would like to say terima kasih to all my friends who helped me in any way.
It's because I accept your kindness and I will find an opportunity to pay back your kindness.

"饮水思源"


Everything that I've wrote is just what I think, my own perception.
Just to share with everyone.
Hope that you can found your best language to show you gratitude to others.
