For the White Mountain Apache: ashoog is an informal thanks. A- key-yeh is the proper way of saying thank you.

For Western Apache: Ashagoteh (ash-eh-go-the) is the informal way of saying Thank you; but this only applies when you are thanking someone for something where a proper thanks doesn't suffice. In Western Apache, you always thank with the formal when dealing with a parent or an elder, or when something important or crucial had been done. The formal is Ahee-ih-yeh. (e.g. you would use Ashagoteh when your friend handed you a candy bar; but you would use Aheeiyeh when your church pastor handed you a bible, because he is a figure of authority. You would use Aheeiyeh if you were saved from drowning, or when someone built you a house, or when a doctor tells you that you need to take three pills a day, again figure of authority. But you would use Ashagoteh, if your roomate hands you the pills in the morning and sais "You need to take these." Amongst some youth [the one's that speak this language] this word is shortened to Asho.) {exception to the rule: culturally speaking one exception to the rule often persists, Aheeiyeh is often used when someone receives food... so the above anaology of the candy bar could be a place where Aheeiyeh was used, however if it had been a comic strip instead of a candy bar Ashagoteh would have been the proper word.} {Proper pronunciation aw-sh-eh goh-the, or aw-sh-oh goh-the; ah-hee-ih-yeh, or less often Ah-(hiccup hee) ih-yeh.}

There are two ways to say thank you in Apache. The formal way is "Aheeiyeh." The casual way is "Ashagoteh."
