Would The Correct Form Of Mucho Be

Is it correct to say "very much appreciate it"?

All the answers to this question are great. Might I add a small insight?As some people have suggested, we often use the structure “It is very much appreciated”.If you listen carefully to the end of the word ‘appreciated’ (past participle) and contrast that with ‘appreciate + it’ (present + pronoun), you’ll find that they sound very similar.appreciated /a pri shi ya ted/appreciate it /a pri shi ya tet/Notice the /t/ and the /d/. They are produced at the same place in your mouth. Sometimes a /d/ will sound like a /t/ and vise versa depending on the environment.Many students and indeed English children often mistake an ‘ed’ participle for a present verb + it.You can , of course, say both, but make sure your subject is adjusted for each one.I very much appreciate it.It is very much appreciated.I hope that clears up any doubts you may have from what you think you over-heard.

Is "thanks very much" grammatically correct?

‘Thanks’ is not a noun in this instance. It’s a noun when ‘I give you my thanks’ or ‘I owe you my thanks’ but those are different senses.‘Thanks very much’ isn’t ungrammatical; it’s just a contraction of ‘I/we thank you very much’ which should show that in this instance, ‘thanks’ is an abbreviation of a verb.Any of that might be confused by archaic forms like ‘For this relief, much thanks’ which is about 400 years old but still often quoted exactly or copied for style just because it’s pure Shakespeare, even if the speaker doesn’t recognise the origin.In that case, ‘… much thanks’ almost appears equivalent to ‘I/we thank you very much’ but it isn’t. It’s equivalent to ‘I/we owe you much thanks’ so yes, we’re back with the noun sense.Then, ‘Do English native speakers say that way?’ should be either ‘Do English native speakers say it that way?’ or ‘Do English native speakers speak that way?’.Further, in speech both ‘thank you’ and ‘thanks’ are acceptable, even though ‘thanks’ is much less formal.In formal writing, such as business letters, ‘thanks’ is much worse than informal; it’s sloppy at best, and will sometimes be seen as rude.In informal writing, such as love letters or postcards home, ‘thanks’ is informal and friendly, no worse.In TXT, it prolly THX anyway, innit?

Is it correct to say "un gusto hablar contigo" to a woman?

Is it correct to say "un gusto hablar contigo" to a woman?It's not really correct or elegant to say it to anybody. It's an empty formula, even when Google translate baldly gives it as an equivalent for "Nice talking to you," which is not real likely to get you a chance for another conversation.There's a difference between talking (hablar) and having a conversation (conversar) .  Even in English.  Spanish routinely uses many more shades of courtesy and gallantry than does English.The Spanish Royal Academy (RAE) presents gusto in a number of connotations having to do with pleasure, from a pleasant taste to the physical pleasure, to someone's feeling when doing something willingly, to giving the sense of delighting in something capricious or amusing.The RAE presents mucho gusto as being a formulaic response, a slightly exaggerated expression of courtesy when taking leave of someone or upon being introduced.  In this sense, one might also use sumo gusto, the "greatest possible pleasure," as when one might say, "It gives me the greatest pleasure to introduce a renowned scholar ..."The forms of giving or receiving pleasure are courteously used in the passive. Me dió mucho gusto conversar con Usted.  Or, you might say it was a pleasure or an honor for you:  Me fue un placer conversar con Usted.Enrique Pareja, perhaps you would be kind enough to cast an eye over (and even comment on) this answer, which I have now rewritten and polished somewhat from a rather brusque dismissal, which received a quick downvote from someone.
