Synonyms for "grateful" (70 found)

Ranked by relevance and common usage.

How these synonyms differ

  • appreciative - 'Appreciative' emphasizes recognition of value, you notice what someone did and acknowledge it. It can be more intellectual than the warmth of gratitude.
  • indebted - 'Indebted' implies obligation, you feel you owe something in return. Gratitude is free; indebtedness comes with strings.
  • obliged - 'Obliged' straddles gratitude and duty. 'Much obliged' is a polite thank-you, but feeling obliged can be a burden rather than a warm emotion.
  • thankful - 'Thankful' is the everyday cousin, you're thankful for a favor, grateful for something that changed your life. Gratitude runs deeper.
