Etymology

[edit]

Compound of terima (receive) +‎ kasih either meaning “care; affection” or “to give”. The exact meaning of kasih in part of the phrase is disputed:

  • According to Shellabear (1912), the phrase is a shortening of saya sudah banyak terima kasih (literally I have received a lot of care).[1]
  • According to Asmah (2014), it originated among traders where kasih meant "to give", as it still does in various vernacular varieties of Malay; thus terima kasih would literally mean "[I] receive [what you] give" or "[I] receive [your] gift".[2]

Compare Acehnese teurimöng geunaséh and Sasak tampi asih. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced? Particularly: “Cognates or borrowing?”)

  1. ^ William Shellabear (1912), chapter 25, in A Practical Malay Grammar[1], 3rd edition, page 57:Thanks are expressed by the words trima kaseh, or banyak trima kaseh, an abbreviation for sahya sudah banyak trima kaseh, I have received a great favour.
  2. ^ Asmah Haji Omar (2014), 3:13 from the start, in Daud Yusof, director, Bicara[2] (in Malay), episode 3, via Mediacorp Suria:Jadi, saya lihat 'terima kasih' itu satu ungkapan yang datang dari perniagaan. Ya, ini saya 'kasi' dan saya 'terima', terima kasi. 'Kasih' di situ bukan kasih affection tapi 'kasi'.So, in my view, 'terima kasih' is a phrase that came from trade. You kasi (give), and you terima (receive), terima kasi. The kasih there is not the kasih of 'affection', but instead that of kasi.
