Etymology

From ཐུགས་རྗེ (thugs rje, “compassion”) +‎ ཆེ (che, “great”) +‎ གནང (gnang, “to give, do; honorific imperative particle”).

Pronunciation
  • Old Tibetan: /*tʰuks.rd͡ʑe.t͡ɕʰe.gnaŋ/
  • Lhasa: /tʰu(k̚)ˀ˥˥.t͡ɕeˑ.ʈ͡ʂʰe˥˥.naŋ˥˥/

Interjection

ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ་གནང • (thugs rje che gnang)

  1. thank you very much

Usage notes

The final honorific imperative particle གནང (gnang) gives this interjection a more honorific, stronger quality than simply ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ (thugs rje che), equivalent to thank you very much in English.

Alternative forms
