意思
Formal way to express gratitude.
文化背景
In Pakistan, it is common to touch your hand to your chest while saying this. It signifies that the gratitude is coming from the heart. Lucknow is the heart of Urdu etiquette. Here, you might hear 'Aap ki zarra-nawazi hai' (It is your kindness) as a more poetic way to say thank you. Many Urdu speakers will use 'JazakAllah' (May God reward you) instead of 'Shukriya' to give the thanks a spiritual dimension. In offices in Karachi or Delhi, 'Aap ka shukriya' is often followed by the person's title, like 'Shukriya, Sir' or 'Shukriya, Ma'am'.
The Hand Gesture
Place your right hand on your chest when saying it to elders for extra 'Adab' points.
Gender Trap
Never say 'Aap ki shukriya'. Even if you are a woman, or the person you are talking to is a woman, it is always 'ka'.
