How it's used
Expresses a formal or sincere sense of gratitude that goes beyond the casual thank you. While often used in speeches or written messages, it can sound slightly stiff in everyday casual conversation compared to the more common 多謝. It is best reserved for situations where you want to emphasize the depth of your appreciation.
Examples
I am really grateful for all the help you have given me.
How are you going to thank him for his help?

Common mistake
Learners often use 感謝 interchangeably with 多謝, but 多謝 is the standard way to say thank you for a gift or service, whereas 感謝 carries a heavier, more emotional weight of gratitude.
