Shalom MalkabatDan,
I’m not a Hewbrew scholar by any means but I can tell as a Jew who grew up in Philadelphia that the dialects between the North, West, East and South in the USA are different as well as the difference between Yiddish and Hebrew. Also I am recently learning that as an Ashkenazi Russian Jew and my Sephardic brothers and sisters use different words as well. I have friends in Israel and they sometimes use different words also. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the Hebrew expressions. What is the difference between saying ‘Thank you’ by using ‘Rav todot’ and ‘Todah Rabah’. I learned to say ‘Todah Rabah’ when I went to Israel. Also I was taught to say ‘bavakasha’ while in Israel, for ‘You’re welcome’.
I guess there are many ways to say different things in any language.
todah rabah means thank you very much and rav todot means many thanks
