In our Spanish language, the word is the one already mentioned, thank you.
We feel like saying thank you when we positively value an attitude or behavior of another, either towards us or with a third party.
We must say that gratitude is manifested both in hyper-daily and domestic issues, such as thanking the person in charge of the building who opened the door for us, even the thanks given to a doctor for saving the life of a loved one .
Gestures and actions that accompany the thank you
Meanwhile, expressing thanks, usually consists of the first manifestation of gratitude that is felt and usually comes accompanied by some other attention, such as a gift, a thank you speech, a note in which gratitude is transmitted, or a special comment highlighting this demonstrated predisposition.
Gestures are also widely used to express thanks for something, such as a smile, a pat on the back, a kiss, a caress, the raising of the thumb, among the most common.
Why we commonly appreciate
Among the most recurrent questions that we human beings are grateful for are: the favor that someone does us to go and find something; a gift is always a matter for which we express our thanks to the one who gives it to us; the help that someone gives us regarding something, likewise, will trigger a feeling of gratitude and the expression of the famous thank you for what was facilitated, among other alternatives.
On the other hand, when we feel gratitude, that feeling generates and awakens a well-being that we want to communicate and transfer, and for example, we need to transmit it in some way.
It is also very human to feel the need to be thanked if we did something for the other that deserves to be thanked; Of course, the ideal is to do things in a disinterested way for the other, but it is always expected even a thank you, or a demonstration of it, if we did something good for someone.
If this does not happen we will feel devalued and sad.
The other side is ingratitude, which of course will be valued in our culture in a negative way, considered as an inappropriate, not correct, and even cruel action.
