Used to express gratitude in both formal and informal contexts.
In French, it's common to say 'merci' even when receiving something negative, as a polite acknowledgment.
The appropriate response to 'merci' is 'de rien' (you're welcome) or 'je t'en prie' (formal).
From Old French 'merci', from Latin 'merces' meaning 'reward' or 'wages'.
In French, 'merci' is often followed by 'beaucoup' or 'bien' to intensify the gratitude. It can be used in both formal and informal settings.
