How to Say ‘That's sweet of you, thanks!’ in Spain Spanish

¡Qué majo, gracias!

keh MAH-hoh GRAH-syahs

[keh MAH-hoh GRAH-syahs]

💬 Usage Tip: majo matches the person you're talking to, so say ¡Qué maja! to a woman. It's an everyday word in Spain but sounds odd or unfamiliar in most of Latin America, where amable "kind" is the safer choice.
