English term or phrase: thank you
as in I thank you very much
michele ouiomet
toda תודה
Explanation:
The word toDA - תודה - in Hebrew is the equivalent of thank you in English, although it does not include "you". If you insist on adding the word for you, then this is how you say thank you in Hebrew:
toda lakh - תודה לך - if you are thanking a female.
toda l'kha - תודה לך - if you are thanking a male.
toda lakhem - תודה לכם - if you are thanking a group of males or a mixed group of males and females.
toda lakhen - תודה לכן - if you are thanking a group of females.

As you can see, it's much simpler to say toda, which is appropriate for anyone and everyone.
