請教一句英文 : Many thanks
 

最近常在mail 上看到有同事這樣寫: Many thanks.
我記得應該是 Thanks very much. Thanks a lot.
最近常出現Many thanks.
請問各位英文高手有這種使用嗎?

Many Thank是錯誤的用法...雖然跟Thanks very much類似....;)

二樓的說得沒錯

thanks a lot 也可以

Many thanks 在文法上是不對
但是這就像台灣很多流行語 什麼走透透之類的
大家都在用 也就知道是什麼意思
但是若用正式信件中就不太適合

走透透是台語耶

雖然不是很正式的用法，但many thanks其實沒錯啊...

"Although you will hear "much thanks" in casual speech, the noun "thanks" is
always plural and "many thanks" is appropriate.
We can't have a "thank"; that would be too much like one hand clapping.

Although it's always plural, meaning "grateful thoughts or sentiments,"
it's still treated as something countable, so we use "many thanks."

剛開始看到我還在想,老師怎麼會出髒話!?

跟你爸提醒我一下？（關說）

代我向令尊致意..？
