Using 谢谢你
Adding 你 (“you”) to 谢谢 makes the gratitude personal: 谢谢你, thank you specifically. It is the natural opener of thank-you cards — 谢谢你送我礼物 (“thank you for the gift”) — and the phrase children say when a friend shares a snack.
In Traditional Chinese it is 謝謝你; only the doubled 谢 changes, to 謝. To thank more than one person, use 谢谢你们 (xiè xiè nǐ men) — “thank you all” — the version kids say to the whole class after a birthday party.
