Hello

I was watching a movie and i reached this sentence:

As a more concrete gesture of our gratitude we'd like to offer you a favor.

I want to know the meaning of "concrete gesture".

Thanks

It means a real gesture. "Concrete" is something you can feel.

"Concrete gesture" means something more than mere words.

They're not just thanking the person- they're offering the person a favour, something beneficial in return.
