What is the word 'thank you' when translated to Japanese?

Answer 1

AnswerDomo Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Or just Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Or Arigato gozai-mas.

Or Arigato gozai-mashita

Anything beyound plain old "Arigatou" starts getting pretty flowery, and social structure becomes a part in it. For instance, it would be bad manners for a manager to say "arigato gozai-mashita" to one of his staff under normal circumstances.

"Domo" is "Thanks" and works well between equals.

Domo Arigato (doe-moe ar-ee-got-oe)

I've never heard anybody say "Domo arigato" to say thank you. Well, except in that song. To avoid confusion, I usually say "Arigato gozaimasu" when saying thank you in Japanese. Or just "arigato," but that is like saying 'thanks,' where as 'arigato gozaimasu' is 'thank you very much.'

AnswerActually im pretty sure its domo arigatou

Answer 2

Arigatou: thank you (pronounced Ah-ree-gah-tou)

domo arigato: thank you very much (prononced doh-moe Ah-ree-gah-tou)

arigato gozaimasu: polite way of saying thank you (pronounced Ah-ree-gah-tou Go-z-ai-mah-s)

In relative descending order of politeness, "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu," "arigatou gozaimasu," "arigatou," "doumo."

Written in Japanese, 'arigatou gozaimasu' would be: ありがとうございます
