This Made My Day Artinya

02/11/2022

thank you for making my day. every day.

is this correct ?

I would say, “Thank you! You always make my day!”

does the form
making my day
sound strange or weird ?

No, I hear people say it all the time. “You made my day” means you are very grateful for what the person has done and they have made you very happy. It really depends on the situation you are in before you say it. For example, if someone were to bring you a cup of coffee or tea, saying “you made my day” would be a little overboard. A thank you would be all that is needed. But, if you are running late to an important meeting and your car won’t berangkat, a friend going out of his/her way to drive you there would be the perfect time to say “you made my day.”

yes, I often use the form

you made my day
. I was asking about the form

thank you
for making
my day.

I apologize for not answering your question. “Thank you for making my day” sounds a little odd to derita. The term “you’ve made my day” is more natural to say. It both tells the person that they have made your day and it also implies that you are thanking them without actually saying it. But, I don’falak really see a penyakit with saying “thank you for making my day.” You can also say “thank you. You have made my day.”

Hello Vost. Your sentence is very good English. But please remember to use capital letters!

Couldn’t it also mean when somebody did something very bad to you and you just feel that everything is going wrong?

Yes, it could be used in a sarcastic, negative manner.

[Fred has just told his tenant, John, that his rent will be going up by £100 a month]

John
: Well, thanks for making my day!/You’ve made my day!

It may be inherent cynicism, but I’m afraid this is the meaning I assumed we were being asked about when I saw the title of the thread.

For “thank you for making my day” to be positive, the circumstances would have to be quite special. You would have to be saying it to someone who had done something really special. And there would probably have to be some significance to “my day”.

I don’t agree with your second paragraph, Panj.

It may be true for you, but I think it depends largely on one’s personality and use of language. Some people are more effusive, emotional in their daily language than others.

Emma, perhaps you got the point.

For example, in Portuguese (my native spoken language) we often use that in a, yes, sarcastic way. That’s why I asked about this.

I’m sure you’re right, but from my cynical position, unless there is some generally understood significance to “my day”, I hear this expression as negative and sarcastic.

For example, I couldn’t ever imagine saying this in the context suggested earlier:

But, if you are running late to an important meeting and your car won’kaki langit menginjak, a friend going out of his/her way to drive you there would be the perfect time to say “you made my day.”

I could. And I’ve heard it in similar workaday situations.

I’m with Emma – I don’t see a particularly sarcastic bent to “Thank you for making my day”. In fact, I see no difference between:

“Thank you! You made my day!”

and

“Thank you for making my day!”

I default to a more friendly interpretation. There would have to be contextual or tonal cues to make me suspect the other person was being sarcastic. The komplikasi, of course, is that precious few phrases are sarcasm-proof. I begin to be certain I would find friendly people where they aren’t if I traveled among certain speech communities.

I use “you made my day” on a daily basis. Perhaps every one of my days has been made; some have no doubt been made by more than one person. Most of the time I deploy the phrase in earnest, but I have also been known to drop a sarcastic “boy, you /really/ made my day. Thanks a lotre!” in lieu of killing a messenger.

“Thank you! You made my day!”

and

“Thank you for making my day!”

I see no difference between these two statements.

But I persist in the belief that this sounds negative/sarcastic unless there is some element of the sense suggested by the OED definition:

(a)

to make one’s day
: to be the highlight of an otherwise ordinary, dull, or banal day; to render a day delightful.

However grateful I might be for someone helping derita out in a difficult situation, I could never say that they made my day.

Can’t you think of any situation in which you would say it? What about the following:

You have lost your wallet, containing a precious watch with sentimental value on the bus. Another passenger runs after you and gives you your wallet.

It’s General Election day. You absolutely hate the government in power, but fear that it will be elected yet again. Someone with inside knowledge of the vote count phones you and tells you that the opposition have won.

You have lost your wallet, containing a precious watch with emosional value on the bus. Another passenger runs after you and gives you your wallet.

I don’t have a watch. If I had one, I would titinada keep it in my wallet. If I had one and kept it in my wallet and lost it on the bus and a kind passenger pursued me with it and handed it back, I still wouldn’t say that he had made my day. I would be hugely grateful, but he didn’t make my day.

It’s General Election day. You absolutely hate the government in power, but fear that it will be elected yet again. Someone with inside knowledge of the vote count phones you and tells you that the opposition have won.

Here, on the other hand, someone has turned a very boring and banal day into something very exciting. Sure enough, he has made my day.

I think the original sentences sound extremely grateful and would make a fitting greeting for one’s spouse on a wedding anniversary.

In response to the original post in this thread…

It seems to be in the genre of a greeting card or note or (love) letter.

“Thank you for making my day. Every day” or
“Thanks for making my day. Every day”

Both make perfect sense to me and have very positive connotations. In spoken language I don’t feel as though it would work, and it could, as stated, even be taken negatively.

If written however, I think it’s great!
