How to Say ‘Thank you!’ in Traditional Chinese
謝謝！
💬 Usage Tip: Polite and universal. You can soften it by adding [你太客氣了] (“You’re too kind”) in real life, but [謝謝] alone is great.
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: When receiving New Year wishes or gifts (like snacks or [紅包]), [謝謝] is standard—often with a smile and both hands for politeness.
