ありがとうの日(arigato no hi): Day of Thank You!

March 9 is written as 3.9 and read as san (3) kyu (9). In Japan some English phrases are well-known. One of them is "Thank you." Pronunciation of "Thank you" sounds like "sankyu" for most Japanese people. Therefore today is day of thank you.
Thank you in Japanese is arigato (ありがとう). If you want to say "Thank you very much," it is domo arigato (どうもありがとう). If you want to say "thank you" politely, it is arigato gozaimasu (ありがとうございます). If you want to say it in the past tense, it is arigato gozaimashita (ありがとうございました).

Thank you for visiting and reading my blog every day!
