In English if someone complements you or expresses their gratitude for something you've done, you can respond with something like, "Thank you for your kind words."

What Spanish phrase would best translate that sense of "kind words"?

This translation is easily found in a dictionary that provides phrases. Check this page from the site Wordreference.com... Sorry, I'm voting to close (no hard feelings... :) eheh). – Alenanno Jan 18 '12 at 12:26

I would transate it to amables palabras:

Gracias por tus amables palabras.

Is it normally amables palabras or palabras amables (as Alenanno's link above says)? – jrdioko Jan 18 '12 at 17:02

Both of them are used: books.google.com/ngrams/… , but amables palabras emphasizes more the word amable. – dusan Jan 18 '12 at 17:13
