Norwegian for "thank you very much". Literally "a thousand thanks!"

For “heartfelt thanks” (more or less).

Not sure why I know that.

Hebrew

"Thank you very much" in Ladino, a language spoken by Iberian Jews.

מירסי מונג׳ו

On edit: I am not 100% about the pronunciation. I have only read it and haven't heard it spoken...yet! Well, there is one Chanukkah song I have heard in Ladino.

It’s "Danke schön" In Germany.

In the UK I assume it’s “bugger off” based on their response when I offer them driving advice.

Albanian

Irish Gaelic, to multiple people.

Japanese.

I lived there for 2 years while in the Air Force. Americans often shortened it to “Domo,” which may not have been proper.

Japanese also often just say "domo" in casual conversation, but not in more formal situations. (I spent more than a decade living in Japan.)

Aloha!

Universal thank you is Khop Khun, add Ka if you're female or Krub if you're male.

More casual vesrion is Khob jai

And, of course there is the non-verbal wai used to thank elders of those in positions of authority.

Online sources say this is Thai.

Polish… sounds like Jen-ku-ya

Navajo

Thank you in my tribe's language, Ojibwe. The Odawa and Pottawatomie tribes also use this word. They are Michigan tribes and are known as People of the Three Fires or Anishinaabe ("The People." )

Samoan

It does sound like danka though!

In Hindi, India. I don't think I pronounce it right because I have gotten a blank stare when I tried it out. But maybe the Indians spoke one of the other many many languages of India.

Scots Gaelic.

Of course, I chose to learn a language that appealed thanks to my heritage (GGF left the Orkneys for the US via Canada and doomed us all to get stuck here) that will probably never benefit me outside of a soul connection. I really should have trolled the interwebs for a braw Scotsman (or Canadian!) to take me away from all this when I was young enough to score one…

In northern Italy it's almost a 3 syllable word. The "ay" sound at the end is swallowed a bit.
In our house, it was just a 2 syllable word. grahtz-ee
I also leaned spasibo in HS Russian class. One of about 20 words I remember.

Asante is 'thank you' in Swahili. As spoken in Kenya, Africa.

Danke in Limburgish, spoken in Wallonia.

Bonus points if you know where Wallonia is.

Where the Walloons live. Southern Belgium.

My Irish grandma didn’t speak Gaelic but her way of saying thank you would always include saying “Bless you my dear”. So, Deb, “Thank you and bless you my dear” for all the wonderful posts!😊

I do admit I had to look it up.

One class recently had children who spoke Thai, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Mexican and Ukrainian! They all said please and thank you for me! I always say those words are the most important ones to use!

Thank you kimbutgar and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
