In Kurmanji you can say,  ''Nav xêrê de be'' or ''Xwedê ji te razî be'' or ''Spas''
 
and in Sorani you can say, ''Supas''  its always easier to say thanks (:
 
Spas = Supas = Thanks

    In a conversation it would look like this.

    Aryan: Ah Tu bi xêr hatîye Mîran !
    English : Welcome Mîran !
    (Literally = You have come with bliss Mîran)

    Mîran: Gelek spas Aryan, tu jî de nav xêrê de be.
    English: Thank you very much Aryan..
    (Literally: Many thanks Aryan, blessings upon you aswell )

    Remember ”Xêr” means more or less like
    ”blessings be upon you ”.. ”Good health” or simply blessed you are...therefore.. bless you.

    like, when you sneeze.. A kurd would say ” Xêr be ” meaning Good Health or Bless you...
