grateful

/ˈɡɹeɪtfəl/adjective

Feeling or showing thanks for something someone has done for you.

Example sentence

“We're so grateful for everything you did while we were away.”

Frequently misspelled 'greatful'; it comes from an old word 'grate' meaning pleasing, not from 'great'. Grateful 'to' a person, 'for' a thing.
