Greek Words

"Ευχαριστώ" (Efhareestó) means "Thank you" in Greek. It comes from the ancient Greek word "εὐχαριστέω" (eucharisteo), which means "I give thanks" or "I show gratitude." The word is a combination of "Εὖ" (ef) = well/good and "Χάρις" (cháris) = grace/favor, so when you say "Ευχαριστώ", you're literally saying "I give good grace."
