Is there a word for this?

There is not a word to decribe receiving thanks that I know of, or can find.(other than receiving)

There are many words to express the way in which we receive thanks:

positive: Grasiously, gracefully, eagerly

negative: grudgingly, reluctantly, unwilling

I think it would be considered

"graciousness". But that wouldn't really be an "act of receiving thanks", more like a personality trait. I don't know. Well good luck with that.

Condescend is the best one I can think of. I know it has a negative import but it does acknowledge one's figurative abasement.

First I thought gracious or amiable, but I think being "accepting" is a good word.

Look at gratitude.com...some life expanding messages which can come to you each day if you sign up. Peace

Good Samaritan vs. The Hedonist...

The good samaratin would say the word for the act of recieving thanks would be "graciousness."

The Hedonist would say, "Compensation."

someone who recieves thanks well could be said to be "graceful". I suppose the term grace implies an open receptivity. there are graceful and ungraceful ways of recieving thanks... for instance brushing off the 'thanks' and minimizing it by saying "oh well it was no big deal" is not graceful. graceful would be like saying "You're welcome... I'm pleased I was able to help" etc

What do you want???? I speak several languanges but I don't think that will suffice? What do you want? Merci beaucoup, trima casie, what do you expect?

"gratitude" for your welcome and "humility" for a simple thank you...
