Usage notes
- Use 'grazie' for both formal and informal situations; no need to switch to 'grazie mille' unless extra gratitude is needed.
- Avoid saying 'grazie te'—it’s incorrect. Use 'grazie a te' for 'thanks to you.'
- In response to 'grazie,' reply with 'prego' (you’re welcome), not 'sì' or 'grazie a te.'
