Q: Thank you in Korean

[BigLew]

What's the difference of usages between kamsahamnida vs. komapsumnida?

[soupdragon]

gomapda => It's an adjective that means feeling grateful fo the good deeds done by others(to you)..and it's 100% hangul

gamsahada => is a verb that means 'to be thankful' and 'gamsa' can be written in chinese character.

so i would say that these two aren't any different in meaning.

and most koreans use both not knowing that one is a verb and the other is an adjective

oh wow, gamsa comes from 感謝? never knew ...

Yup, cuz y'all stole it from the Koreans who learned it from us. Lucky for you China hasn't tried suing y'all and making you pay royalties.

Thanx for that zhongwen site link, Baba...I can never get enough reasons for keeping my New Year's resolution on doing more self-study to buffer my deteriorating kanji/Chinese character recognition skills...
