谢谢你的邀请 (xièxie nǐ de yāoqǐng) means “thank you for the invitation” in English. Word for word, it breaks down as “thank thank your invitation.”
When to use it
Neutral and polite. For a slightly more formal tone, especially with elders or superiors, you can use 感谢您的邀请 (gǎnxiè nín de yāoqǐng). For a stronger expression of thanks, add 非常 (fēicháng) for “very much.”
