So, how do I thank someone?
Some folks helped me out with a notebook entry, and I wanted to thank them in Mandarin. How do I do that?

Is there a way to say "thanks *for* doing XYZ". 谢谢帮帮了？谢谢的告诉我了？

Are there other ways to say that (more colloquial)?

Also, in English I always talk about "appreciating" things when I thank people. "Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback" etc. Is there a construction that works in Mandarin (and doesn't sound too formal)?

Answer

谢谢 + who + did what

Answer

Usually we just say something like 非常感谢你的帮助 （fēi	cháng	găn	xiè	nĭ	de	bāng	zhù）That means thank you very much for your help.

If you want to talk about "Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback", you should say 谢谢，你的反馈对我非常有帮助 （xiè	xie，nĭ	de	făn	kuì	duì	wŏ	fēi	cháng     yŏu	bāng	  zhù）。反馈 means feedback.

Hope I have answered your question. You can always look for me to clarify your questions:)
