Definder - what does the word mean?

What is SanKyu?

A Japanese phrase that shows up alot in animes and the subs say it means "thank you" but I don't understand how that works because it can't be defined anywhere else. Can also be replaced with "arigatou".

Kyousuke said "Sankyu" when Misaki gave him the sweater.

SanKyu - what is it?

it means "thank you", but with heavy asian accent (japanese).
"TH-" from "thank" is pronounced like S. and "yu" from "you". hence the word, "SankYU"

girl: im cold
guy: here, take my sweater
girl: sankyu !
