What does THANK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To express gratitude or appreciation to someone for something they have said, given, or done.
People thank each other constantly in ordinary conversation, whether for a small favour like holding a door or for something far more significant. The word can stand alone, as in a simple thank you, or take an object naming both the person and the reason for the gratitude. Many cultures have their own customs around when and how to thank someone, and getting this wrong can seem rude even when no offence is intended. In English, failing to thank someone for a gift or a kindness is often noticed and can strain a relationship.
