While visiting Venice, what is the difference between saying Grazie and Grazia?

Question

I heard both, and am wondering if it is a slang or a grammeric gender issue. I had a dictionary and a couple guidebooks, but apparently they weren't very thorough. It's a shame, I wanted to thank people properly!

Answer 1

HI!I'm Italian!Grazia is singular and it means Grace. Grazie is the plural form of Grazia and it means "thanks" too!ciao by Italy

Answer 2

Italian, like Spanish, uses genders for all nouns and adverbs. Grazia is the feminine gender.

Answer 3

You are just hearing a slight difference in dialect. The word is spelled grazie, but the sound of ie in Italian, at the end of a word, is not the same as in English.

Answer 4

You heard wrong.

"Grazie" is "thank you"

"Grazia" is a female name (Grace) and it never used to say "Thank you".

Believe me, I'm italian

Answer 5

Here you go:

Grazie = thanks

Mille grazie = thanks a lot (or one thousand times)

Grazie molto = thank you much

Tante grazie = thanks a lot

Grazie di cuore = thank you from my heart

Grazia = grace or Grace

Answer 6

Grazie (grat-zi-ay) means "Thanks"

Grazia (grat-zi-uh) means "Grace"
