Thank You : 谢谢 vs 感谢 vs 跪谢 vs 多谢
While expressing gratitude in spoken Mandarin , I believe people use 谢谢 and 感谢. For example 谢谢你的时间 OR 谢谢你带我来这里 .
Does 感谢你的时间 OR 感谢你带我来这里 imply a higher level of gratitude ? Is there a difference in usage (stemming from culture,origin, etc.) or can they be used interchangeably ? I have also seen 多谢 and 跪谢 used in the signature of emails . Does it implicitly convey the "Level"of gratitude ? I am a little confused with the difference in usages of these 4 forms of Thanks. Any explanations or
suggestions ?

谢 is a verb for 'to thanks'. It is mostly used in literary form, e.g. "谢天谢地", "谢主隆恩.
In colloquial form "多谢" (literally means 'many thanks' or 'thanks a lot') would replace "谢" for "thanks". It is often used as a proclamation, e.g. "多谢!". "多谢" is also used as a common verb, e.g. 要多谢上帝 (have to thanks God)
"谢谢" (reduplicating 谢 to stress a higher degree) is also commonly used as a proclamation, e.g. "谢谢!". However, "要谢谢上帝" is less common than "要多谢上帝" when both are used as a common verb
"感谢" is less common as a proclamation than 多谢 or 谢谢. Far fewer people would say "感谢你" instead of "多谢你" or "谢谢你" ; However, it is used as a common verb the most. "要感谢上帝" is more common than "要多谢上帝" or "要谢谢上帝". And "感谢" is also a noun for "gratitude"
Conclusion:
多谢 (thanks) - 1. proclamation; 2. verb
谢谢 (thanks) - 1. proclamation; 2. verb
感谢 (thanks/ gratitude) - 1.verb; 2.noun (e.g.這份感谢 = this gratitude)
proclamations are terms like: 多谢! 對不起 (sorry)! 可惡 (damn)!
跪谢 literally means "kneel down and thanks" it is a shortened form of "跪下說多谢", which is a verb phrase
Similar to 叩谢 (叩頭感谢) kowtow and thanks

谢谢: thanks, thank you.
感谢: thank you so much, or sometimes: thanks someone gratefully/appreciatively.
跪谢: Internet slang, literally meaning: kneel down to someone and say thanks, likes 跪求, same as 感谢.
多谢: thanks, thanks a lot, same as 谢谢.
