i wonder how other people say thank you very much in their country using their own language... in our country, Philippines, we say thank you very much by saying " maraming salamat po"... but nowadays,i can hardly hear Filipinos say this because almost everyone uses the English version... im sad about it because for me it's sweeter to hear "maraming salamat po" because for me it shows how grateful and thankful a person is by saying it in his own language...^^

The same, as yours, I'm also a Filipino so I say "maraming salamat po", or "maraming maraming salamat po" in text, "tnx" or "ty". Actually I prefer thanking someone in Filipino and not in English because it sounds more meaningful, I agree with you.

In my home country of Pakistan the national language is a very beautiful language called Urdu. In it the traditional way is 'shukri ya'.But these days with the growth of English most ppl just say and recognize,the universal word THANK YOU.

ya now a days many of us use english to say thank you or i love you etc., instead of my mother being so beautiful we use english version ( by this i dont mean that english is not beautiful, it is.)in my mother tongue we say bahot bahot shukriya.

I am also a Filipino and I'm proud of it. I still know how to say thank you in Tagalog. I can still speak Tagalog fluently. I love my own language.

I'm also from the Philippines and what you said about filipinos using "thank you" is really true. I've noticed that too and yes, hearing "maraming salamat po" makes it sound a lot better and you can really feel the gratitude that the person wants to convey.
