Thanks for your understanding

This phrase is correct.

You can use this phrase if you feel like someone is being patient and understanding, particularly when receiving some news that is less than optimal.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to meet tomorrow; thanks for your understanding.
  • I am extremely delayed this morning; thanks for your understanding.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • thank you for understanding
  • thank you for your patience

Thank you for understanding
