Thank you you :)
For your information, guys ! In the past, Chinese were even confused over ' thank you '
. Because ' thank you ' means only ' thank ' with no object to their understanding. So by analogy, and interference from their mother tongue, they put ' you ' to complete the sense of appreciation. It has become ' Thank you, you '
Luckily, the trend is over. They know how to thank you so naturally now.
