'stuti' (basic thanks — used casually), 'bohoma stuti' (many thanks — formal, respectful), 'gambeeeratha' (much appreciated — after significant help), 'ma piyayi' or 'obata pin sida vayi' (may merit accrue to you — spiritual/temple context). English 'thank you' also universally used.

Bohoma stuti + eye contact. Thanks!

For business context: 'stuti' + slight bow works. For monks after teaching: 'sadhu sadhu sadhu' + Ayubowan hand gesture (specific spiritual acknowledgment). Genuine warm eye contact throughout matters more than exact word choice.
