"Thank you for your patience," vs "Thank you for your patient"

The correct phrase is "thank you for your patience." The phrase "thank you for your patient" is incorrect. The correct phrase is commonly used to express gratitude for someone's ability to remain calm and understanding in a difficult situation.

Last Updated: March 29, 2024

Thank you for your patience, 

This phrase is correct in English and commonly used to express gratitude for someone's ability to remain calm and understanding in a difficult situation.

Use this phrase when you want to thank someone for being patient, understanding, and tolerant in a challenging or trying situation.

Examples:

  • Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
  • I appreciate your patience while we work through this issue.
  • Thank you for your patience as we resolve this matter.
  • Your patience is greatly appreciated.
  • I want to thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your patient

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

You probably want to use the word "patience" here instead of "patient." The word "patient" can be an adjective or a noun, but as a noun, it means someone who is undergoing medical treatment.
