"Thank you for your understanding" vs "Thank you for understanding"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Thank you for understanding' is used when you want to express gratitude for someone's ability to comprehend a situation without explicitly mentioning their understanding. On the other hand, 'Thank you for your understanding' is more formal and specific, directly acknowledging the person's understanding of a particular matter.
