thankfulness
Usage Note
Agradecimiento is the noun from the verb agradecer ('to be grateful for'). It is used in formal expressions of thanks — en señal de agradecimiento ('as a token of gratitude') — but equally in heartfelt personal contexts. The shorter synonym gratitud is slightly more formal and literary; agradecimiento is the more colloquial and widely used form in everyday writing and speech.
Examples
"Le expresé mi agradecimiento por su ayuda."
Natural Translation
I expressed my gratitude for her help.
