Our favourite mistakes #151: Grammar

▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Xudoga shukur!

❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Thanks God!

✅ Well, it should be:
Thank God!

❓Why?

It sounds like you’re talking to God. 😇

❗️ Thanks has two uses: a) to thank somebody directly in a conversation or b) to give a reason for some good result, e.g. My English is getting better every day thanks to Afandi English.

❗️ To thank sb/sth is a transitive verb and thank here is a third-person imperative, similar to the Uzbek -sin suffix in bersin or qilsin.
