THANK YOU - TWO WAYS TO SAY?

[canalman]

I say 'teşekur ederim' for 'thank you'; 'teşekurler' for 'thanks' and 'çok teşekur edererim' for 'thank you very much'.

Well.... I wish I could write with my Turkish letters .... but for some reason... they are not accepted on the forum... anyhow..... my contribution is as follows..:-

Tesekkurler ..... Tesekkur means 'thank' .... the -ler on the end of the word is the plural suffix, which, therefore makes this word a plural... so Tesekkurler literally means WE HAVE THANKS.

Tesekkur ederim ..... Tesekkur means 'thank' .... the  -im on the end of the word ederim is the personal suffix for the 1st person singular.... so Tesekkur ederim literally means I THANK YOU

A little confusing huh!!!???

Actually:

Tesekkur = Thanks
Tesekkur-ler = Many Thanks (the plural form does not imply a personal adjective)

Tessekur ederim = ederim consists of ed-er-im and is derived from the verb etmek (to do), -er- is a verb conjugation and -im indeed is first person single, so this literally means : I do thanks
