文化背景
In France, the process of getting a 'devis' (estimate) is legally regulated and culturally significant. It represents the beginning of a professional trust. Politeness during this phase is crucial for future negotiations.
The 'Devis' Distinction
While 'estimation' is common, use 'devis' if you are talking about a legally binding written quote. It makes you sound more informed.
Don't forget the 'Vous'
Unless you are best friends with your plumber, always use 'vous' when thanking them. It maintains the professional boundary.

What It Means
Imagine you want to renovate your tiny Parisian kitchen. You call a contractor to see the cost. After he measures everything, he gives you a price. This is where you remercier pour l'estimation. It is more than just saying thanks. It is acknowledging the "work before the work." You are showing that you value their professional judgment. It is the verbal equivalent of a firm, polite handshake.
How To Use It
In French, the verb remercier loves company. You usually follow it with pour or de. If you are writing an email, Je vous remercie de votre estimation sounds very elegant. If you are talking to a mechanic, Merci pour l'estimation is perfect. Remember to use vous in these professional settings. Using tu might make the contractor think you want a "friend discount." Keep it professional until the work is actually done!
When To Use It
This phrase is your best friend in any service industry. Use it with real estate agents who value your home. Use it with freelance designers for a project quote. It is also great when dealing with insurance adjusters. Even if the news is bad, the politeness must remain. It is also useful in project management at the office. When a colleague estimates a timeline, thank them for the data. It shows you are a serious professional.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for casual "guesstimates" between friends. If your buddy guesses how many fries are left, don't use this. It will sound like you are treating your friend like a waiter. Also, do not use it if the "estimate" was just a random opinion. If someone says "I think it's 5 PM," just say merci. Using estimation here makes you sound like a robot from a 70s sci-fi movie. Stick to professional or semi-formal contexts.
Cultural Background
In France, the devis (estimate) is a sacred document. It is often the first formal step in any contract. French culture places a high value on la politesse in commerce. There is a specific rhythm to these interactions. You ask, they calculate, you thank, and then you negotiate. Skipping the "thank you" part is seen as quite rude. It implies you only care about the money, not the person's skill.
Common Variations
You will often hear merci pour le devis in daily life. A devis is a formal written quote, while estimation is a valuation. If you are feeling extra French, try Je vous remercie par avance. This means "thanks in advance" and is a staple of French emails. For something quicker, you can say Merci pour le chiffrage. This specifically refers to the "number-crunching" part of the job. If you're texting a colleague, Merci pour l'estim is the cool, short version.
使用说明
This phrase is primarily used in professional or commercial settings. While grammatically simple, using the correct preposition ('pour' or 'de') and the appropriate level of 'vous' is key to sounding natural.
The 'Devis' Distinction
While 'estimation' is common, use 'devis' if you are talking about a legally binding written quote. It makes you sound more informed.
Don't forget the 'Vous'
Unless you are best friends with your plumber, always use 'vous' when thanking them. It maintains the professional boundary.
The Politesse Secret
In France, even if the estimate is way too expensive, saying thank you is mandatory. It keeps the door open for future negotiations.
