If the phrase "Thank you kindly,..." is considered archaic, could someone suggest an alternative?

Thanks

  • I wouldn't say it's "archaic". It's a bit over-formal for modern use, and the etymology of the expression is a bit foggy, but it still has it's uses, when one wants to be a bit formal without bowing and scraping.

It could be replaced with "Highly obliged" or simply "Obliged" but even these words are considered overly formal and archaic. In modern English, one simply uses "Thank you", "Thanks a lot" or rarely "Many thanks".
