So I have been taking my Japanese lessons and so far everything is going great! I am more than half way done with my first text book. I can’t wait to be on the next text book. Well anyways I would like to learn how to say Thanks to you in Japanese. My teacher wrote it down but I believe when I took down notes, I must of wrote it too fast and it may not be right. I wrote down Okakemasude But when I looked at it, it didn’t look right and I tried to look it up on the internet and nothing popped up. So if anyone knows how to say Thanks to you in Japanese then that would be helpful if you can tell me how to say it. and no I do not mean thank you I already know how to say that in Japanese lol. Thanks to you Is what I am aiming for. Romanji or Hiragana is fine for answers. Thanks for your help!

You almost got it. It’s おかげ（で）
In a sentence:
母がばんごはんをつくのおかげでおなかがすいていません
Thanks to the dinner my mother made, I am not hungry.
Wait, I’m not sure if you have to use something more formal with family members but something like that. Yup.
There’s also おかげさまで for just a short response
お元気ですか？ and the 答え would be: はい、おかげさまで。
It’s Okagesamade.
In hiragana, おかげさまで.
