When you want to express feeling grateful, appreciative, or thankful in Japanese, there are several phrases and expressions you can use to convey your emotions. Here are some commonly used ways to say “I’m feeling grateful” in Japanese:
- 感謝しています (Kansha shiteimasu): This phrase means “I’m grateful” or “I appreciate it.” It conveys a sense of deep gratitude and thankfulness.
- お礼申し上げます (Orei mōshiagemasu): This expression translates to “I express my gratitude” or “I give thanks.” It is a more formal and respectful way to express appreciation.
- ありがたく思っています (Arigataku omotteimasu): This phrase means “I deeply appreciate it” or “I am thankful.” It conveys a sincere and profound sense of gratitude.
