Usage Note

Grazie is the standard Italian 'thank you' and is grammatically a plural noun (from grazia, 'grace'). The seed POS 'noun' is corrected here to 'interjection' in its dominant use. To intensify: grazie mille ('a thousand thanks') or tante grazie ('many thanks'). The response is prego ('you're welcome'). Di niente or figurati are informal alternatives to prego.
