Are there other ways to say "thank you", besides "gracias"? I'm looking for the tú form.

What an interesting question!

In English we have the word "you" connected with the "thanks" part, but in Spanish the word "gracias" does not imply that the "thanks" are directed to any specific "you". The word "gracias" works for everyone.

If you want to have a structure that allows you to specify the "you", you can say the equivalent of "I am grateful to you for it" - "Te lo agradezco" (for singular familiar), "Se lo agradezco" (for Ud. and Uds.) and "Os lo agradezco (for vosotros).

I hope this helps.

"Te doy mis gracias"

this would be very unusual, Lis.

Te lo agradezco mucho.

this would be the closest to "thank you" I can think of.

Muy amable =thank you

When used in response to an action or word muy amable signifies, "than you very much."

I have seen, "Te doy mis condolencias" = "I give my condolences / I'm sorry." Could we use a similar construction, "Te doy mis gracias" to mean "I give you my thanks / Thank you"?
