תּוֹדָה

Pronounce it toh-DAH, with the stress on the second syllable.

Use תּוֹדָה to thank someone in everyday situations, whether they have helped you, given you something, or done you a favor. To say what you are thankful for, use תּוֹדָה עַל followed by the thing: תּוֹדָה עַל הָעֶזְרָה שֶׁלְּךָ means “Thanks for your help.” For extra emphasis, say תּוֹדָה רַבָּה, “Thanks very much.”

תּוֹדָה is a feminine noun that is also commonly used on its own as an expression. The preposition עַל introduces the thing you are thanking someone for.
