2 CHUNKS · 1 PARTICLES
在干嘛 SPOKEN CHUNK

what one is doing; what someone has been up to lately

A very common colloquial way to ask about someone's current activities or initiate a conversation, sounding more casual and friendly than the formal 'zai zuo shen me'.

也谢谢……了 SPOKEN CHUNK

also send thanks to someone

Frequently used to relay gratitude to an absent third party; the final 'le' lends a brisk, polite tone indicating that courtesy is duly paid.

Modal Particle「了」 (le) CHANGE OF STATE

Placed at the end of a sentence to signal the completion of a polite action, softening the tone and making relayed thanks sound more natural.
