Linguists say that for the first time "thank you" was officially pronounced in 1586. The word became widespread only in the 20th century. In Russian, the word was formed from the phrase "God save".
The initiative to create an international holiday dedicated to the word of thanks was received by the UN from peacekeeping organizations. However, the authors of the idea say that in order to gratitude to dear people, they do not need to look for a special date, but say "thank you" every day and as often as possible.
