Actually, just based on the Spanish people I've met, it would sound more like "Grah-thias" Sorry. I felt the need to share that.

No. It doesnt sound like Grah-thias is MORE like grassy ass, in a spanish accent. And btw is in all the spanish speaking countries.

WRONG! My Spanish teacher said, when she went to Spain, people said "grathias".

@520417 (charlietehunicorn): In Spain, they pronounce the soft C and the Z as a TH sound. Apparently it goes back to when a Spanish King had a lisp, so he made everyone else have lisps too (but only on the Cs and Zs. Weird). That's what I learned in Spanish class, anyways. :)

Thats wrong (as I found out of QI..). it wasnt because one of their Kings have a lisp, it was just they way the language evolved (:

@520417(Charlietehunicorn): well im mexican and I say gracias as in grasias with a S not 'th'

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Im pretty sure the "th" sound is a regional thing for spanish speakers in Europe, I could easily be wrong though :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

gracias sounds NOTHING LIKE grassy ass. it took me a a long damn time to figure out this post, after reading all of the comments

(shekilled) ohh! Ok. So even though IM mexican, my whole family is mexican its STILL not how we say it. Did I mention I live in an all-mexican city, all-mexican school and even though everyone says gracias its still grah-thias? Ohh! But YOU'RE right just cuz of one mexican bf and a spanish aunt? Yea, totally beats me!

I was joking, sorry (:

So, you would know many mexican people would say it this way, but you give no examples of knowing how a Spanish person may say it differently.
