Thankful
Emotionally Deep
Use 'thankful' to express a deep emotional response, not just for casual gratitude.

After the support during hard times, I am deeply thankful to you.
Not Thanking Someone
When you’re just saying 'thank you', use 'thanks' or 'thank you', not 'thankful'.

Thanks for the gift, not I'm thankful for the gift.
Personal Gratitude
'Thankful' is often personal, used to show your individual gratitude to others.

I'm thankful to my teacher for her guidance.
