Solveig. Your question is an interesting one. When someone does something for us we usually say in response afterwards, "thank you", not "I appreciate it". However a phrase you will often hear people say is, "thank you for your help, I really appeciate it".
There are also slang expressions that some English speakers use to say "thank you", such as "cheers", "ta", and "much obliged".
When you thank American people they will often say "you're welcome". Whereas, when you thank English people or Europeans they will often say "it was my pleasure" or just "my pleasure".
Sometimes when we are angry with people or we want to tell them not to do something we use the word "appreciate" especially if we are trying to be calm or polite. For example, "I would appreciate it if you didn't smoke here." Or, "I would appreciate it if kept your mouth shut."
Keep the questions coming Solveig! What does "Solveig" mean anyway and why did you choose it?
