Dōmo = Thanks
Arigatō = Thank you (causal)
Arigatō Gozaimasu = Thank you (politely)
- Japanese
Arigato gozaimasu is a formal version of arigatou. Doumo doesn't mean anything by itself, but is just an emphasis to them like Thank you VERY MUCH. Just saying doumo can make you sound lazy and less respectful, although many native speakers seem pretty lenient to Japanese learners using wrong language like doumo.
