多亏

• 拼音: duō kuī
• 汉字拆解: 多 = much/greatly; 亏 = 亏 originally means deficit/loss — in 多亏 it functions as 'owing to/indebted to,' implying one owes good fortune to another

含义

Thanks to; fortunately because of. Expresses that a positive outcome was made possible by someone's help or a fortunate circumstance.

多亏 always attributes a good result to an external cause — a person's assistance, a lucky event, or timely intervention. It is warmer and more personal than 由于 (due to) and implies genuine relief and gratitude: 多亏了你 (thanks to you), 多亏有你帮忙 (fortunately you were there to help). Often used to acknowledge that without the cited factor, things would have gone badly.
