0 They both mean the same thing. 02br 00To some ears the version with "so" sounds ever-so-slightly 'warmer' and 'sincere'. I don't think there's any proof of that.

0Hi Bamtori,02br

00To me, "thank you so much"carries a more sincere feeling of gratitude. When someone goes out of his way to do something for you and you truly appreciate it you will say "thankyou so much"; usually with the "so-ooo" emphaisized. 02br

00"Thank you very much" is a rather generic expression to acknowledge for someone's helping you.

I have been wondering the difference between these those sentences for two days, but, can I ask if there is any other way?

I think I am starting to sound boring with 'Thank you very much', 'Thanks' and so on.
Is there any other way to express it without the word 'Thank you'?

"thank you so much" adds nothing to "thank you." how much is "so"? "thank you very much" is quantitatively greater than a plain "thank you."

Hi,

I'm usually pretty happy with just a plain 'Thank you', or even 'Thanks'.

These words are the oil that makes the machinery of English culture work smoothly.

I'm constantly amazed by how so many people on this Forum nev

Thank you so much seems to be a direct respond by an individual versus Thank you very much had a mutual agreement to approve a companionship.
