Hola, Quiero escribir un mensaje muy informal a mi "hermana" para un ejercicio en mi examen. Es importante que use la lengua informal, jerga y acortamientos en este tipo de texto. ¿Hay jerga para decir "gracias"? Jerga de España deseo en particular. En inglés hay thanks, ta, cheers ....en australia "onya" es decir "good on you" jaja ¿Cuál es la jerga española? Muchas gracias

Hi, I'm from Spain. We usually use "gracias" in most informal situations. There's not a more informal way. Te lo agradezco es muy formal, eres tan amable también.

I don't know whether these are slang or informal, but the following are substitutes for 'gracias'.

Te lo agradezco. I am grateful to you for it.

Muy amable! Very kind!

Eres tan amable. You're so nice/kind.

Let's hope for more input from others.

En México es muy común decir "No hay de qué" en vez de "De nada" al respoder a "Gracias", pero no se considera jerga, sino es simplemente otra forma para expresar agradecimiento.

HA! I like that "Onya". smile

Besides "gracias", the only one that I think of is "grax", used more in writing than speaking.

"Grax" it's like saying "4 u" in English. I've never used that, but it's true there are people that use it in social network, for example. - ale9194, Jun 16, 2017
I didn't know that. I use "gracias", anyway - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Jun 16, 2017
Nothing can beat 'gracias'. :) - Raja-jani, Jun 17, 2017
Grax is like writing thx for thanks, an abbreviated text short hand! In English, you may hear some people say 'ta' or even '(much) obliged' instead! - FELIZ77, Jun 17, 2017
grax, esto me ayuda :) But I get the message that gracias is by far the most popular alternative! - Wedgetail, Jun 18, 2017
Gracias can be used, both, formal & informal. - NKM1974, Jun 18, 2017
