Definition
感谢 (gǎnxiè) is a more formal way to say 'to thank' or 'to express gratitude' than the everyday 谢谢 (xièxie). It is used in writing or polite speech for sincere thanks, while 感激 (gǎnjī) is stronger, meaning 'to be deeply grateful'. 感恩 (gǎn'ēn) focuses on a lasting sense of gratitude, often in a moral context.
