너를 안으면 풀꽃 냄새가 난다
세상에 오직 하나 있는 꽃,
아무도 이름 지어 주지 않는 꽃,
네게서는 나만 아는 풀꽃 냄새가 난다.

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)

These expressions of gratitude traverse a spectrum of sincerity and formality. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply say "thank you," "thanks," or even add a casual "cheers" to express appreciation. When gratitude is deeply felt, phrases like "I'm sincerely grateful" and "I'm truly thankful" convey the depth of one's appreciation. In informal settings, a heartfelt thank you might be expressed with "you're a lifesaver" or "you're the best," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I extend my heartfelt thanks" or "I wish to express my deepest gratitude," while emphasizing that kindness does not go unnoticed. Politeness tempers the thanks in expressions such as "I want to say thank you" and "your help means a lot to me," demonstrating genuine gratitude. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the gratitude, as seen in expressions like "I owe you one" or "you're a legend." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their gratitude with statements like "I'm most grateful" or "your assistance is greatly appreciated," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, gratitude is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "your kindness has not gone unnoticed" or "you have my deepest thanks," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
