5 Korean Phrases to Show Gratitude to Your Parents

If there’s one day a year that blooms with carnations, warm hugs, teary eyes, and thank-you notes, it’s 어버이날 (eo-beo-i-nal), or Parents’ Day. Although it’s officially celebrated on May 8, it’s never too late to show your love and gratitude. Whether you’re a K-drama fan or just love picking up new lingo, this is the perfect time to honor your amazing parents.

In the spirit of Family Month, let’s celebrate their love by learning five heartwarming phrases that will make your appreciation unforgettable.

1. 제가 이룬 모든 것은 부모님의 희생 덕분입니다 (Je-ga I-run Mo-deun Geos-eun Bu-mo-nim-ui Hui-saeng Deok-bun-im-ni-da) – “All that I have achieved is thanks to my parents’ sacrifices”

This phrase carries weight, respect, and a whole lot of love. It expresses profound gratitude towards one’s parents, acknowledging that personal success is intertwined with the efforts and hardships endured by one’s parents. With this phrase, let your parents know that they are the real MVP’s. 

2. 항상 건강하세요! (Hang-sang Geon-gang-ha-se-yo!) –“Please always stay healthy!”

This short and sweet phrase is all about love and care. In Korean, it’s not just about physical health—it’s a loving wish for well-being. Great for reminding your parents that their health means the world to you. It is used when wishing well-being, especially for elders. It’s thoughtful and widely used during holidays or family gatherings as a way of expressing 감사 (gam-sa), gratitude.

3. 늘 곁에 있어 주셔서 감사합니다 (Neul Gyeot-e Iss-eo Ju-syeo-seo Gam-sa-ham-ni-da) – “Thank you for always being by my side”

‘곁에 있다’ (gyeot-e it-da) means more than just ‘beside’. It suggests emotional closeness and dependable presence. Let your parents know their presence is your peace. This one hits right in the feels and makes a perfect line for a handwritten note. It expresses gratitude not just for actions but for emotional support and presence over time.

4. 저를 키워주셔서 정말 감사합니다 (Jeo-reul Ki-wo-ju-syeo-seo Jeong-mal Gam-sa-ham-ni-da) – “Thank you for raising me with all your heart”

The ultimate heartfelt expression! If you want to directly acknowledge your parents’ love and hard work in raising you, this phrase is perfect. It’s formal and respectful, so it’s ideal for the occasion. Trust us when we say that nothing expresses ‘I appreciate all your sacrifices’ better than this one. Whether you say it in person or write it on a card, it’s sure to touch their hearts!

5. 늘 응원해주셔서 감사합니다 (Neul Eung-won-hae-ju-syeo-seo Gam-sa-ham-ni-da) – “Thank you for always cheering me on”

The phrase ‘응원해주다’ (eung-won-hae-ju-da) literally means “to support” or “to root for.” This phrase isn’t just for fans and cheerleaders—it’s perfect for parents, who often support us quietly from behind the scenes without asking for recognition. Saying this to your Parents shows that you notice their silent efforts and encouragement, and that it truly matters.

So, whether you’re penning a heartfelt letter, delivering a touching toast, or simply sharing a moment with your parents, these Korean phrases are a wonderful way to show your love and gratitude to your wonderful parents. Here’s to celebrating the ones who raised us—with love, respect, and a whole lot of thanks! “부모님, 사랑해요!” (bu-mo-nim, sa-rang-hae-yo!) – “Mom and Dad, I love you!”.
