How do you say "Thank you" in Kazakh?

In Kazakh, "thank you" is,


Рақмет

Raqmet

Thank you 


But in the really, we often hear


Спасибо

Spasibo


which is a Russian word that means "thank you". 



We are now in Almaty which is a city located southeast of Kazakhstan with a 150,000 population. At least here, people seem to be happy speaking Russian.
