All these words mean "thank you". I learned the French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Greek, and German words from reading and from hearing people from these cultures speak in these languages. I have Vietnamese and Cambodian friends also, and they taught me the word in their language. I have visited France, Italy, Medugorje, and Portugal on pilgrimages. If everyone around the world would constantly give thanks to their religious deity and to each other, the world would be a better place.
