Hi, can a Malay speaker please tell me what is the meaning of "terima kasih seribu"?
Does it mean "a thousand thanks"? Also, is there a better way of saying "a thousand thanks" in Malay? Thank you in advance for your replies! :)

Question

Answer

The closest English equivalent would be "thanks a bunch".

This is archaic Malay though, so I suggest you don't use it ever outside of literary (I.e. poetry-writing) context.

A better use for "thanks a lot" in Malay is "Terima kasih banyak"

Answer

Thank you for the extra information! :)

Answer

There are lots of ways to say Terima Kasih a lot in malay :

1. Terima kasih banyak = thanks a lot
2. Terima kasih sangat-sangat = thank you very much
3. Terima kasih sayang = thanks love
4. Terima kasih sebab tolong = thanks for the help

And you can reply with "sama-sama" which directly translated as "together'
But it actually means, "terima kasih juga" which means 'thanks to you too'.

In Malaysia we say thank you a lot of time, sometimes for no apparent reason.
You can also reply them with :
1. "Sama-sama"
2. "Eh tak apa" = Eh dont mind
3. "Tak ada masalah" = no problem
 
 Hope this helps :D
