Thank you for taking it into account.
Di nulla, è il minimo.
You’re welcome, it’s the least I could do.
✕Common Mistakes
Grazie per tenerlo conto.
The correct clitic is *ne* because it replaces *di esso* after *conto*.
Grazie per tenere conto.
When the object is already known, you must use the pronoun *ne*: *per tenerne conto*.
↔Alternatives
Grazie per averlo considerato.
Thank you for having considered it.
Ti ringrazio per averlo tenuto in considerazione.
I thank you for having kept it in consideration.
Apprezzo che tu ne abbia tenuto conto.
I appreciate that you have taken it into account.
Cultural Tip
The idiom *tenere conto di* is very common in Italian business and academic language. When you replace the object with a pronoun, you must use *ne* (e.g., *tenerne conto*). Avoid mixing *tenerlo* with *conto*—that construction is ungrammatical. In very informal chats you might simply say *Grazie, l’ho tenuto a mente* (Thanks, I kept it in mind).
