I think it's even more fascinating to think that the word thank you in Bahasa Indonesia, 'terima kasih', would literally mean to accept someone else's kindness / affection. We don't just thank them, we accept whatever they bring too :)
Chalafabia- You’re absolutely right about this. It means ‘accepting care.’ Which I never really thought of until I was older. The act of thanking someone there is accepting whatever they do, give, and care to share with us.
I love that you first learn how to say "thank you" in the native tongue of wherever you land. That's a great idea, I'm gonna steal it! :)
Everyone should, Rachel- It’s one of the most powerful ice breaker wherever you’d go. 🤓
