# annoying quick thread jack...
How do you spell 'thank you' in German? Dankeschoen? Dankeshen? Stuck.

# danke
is all you need

# or
bitte
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:29, archived)
# yeah?
but I want the longer form. I want to write "wankershen" but for it to look more german.

# i just typed
danke schoen

into google translate:

'thanks beautifully'

danke schon
'thanks already'
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:31, archived)
# That's the literal translation
but it basically just means thanks.
(I helped save b3ta! wayward., Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:32, archived)
# Yeah, that'll do.
You can replace the ö with oe if you want.

Edit: schon and schön are different words.

# wanker in german
is "wichser" (which means to wax, I think). It's not used that commonly, so I was glad to introduce it when I lived there.

"du bloede scheisse penne" is good too - literally "you stupid shitty tramp"

# *makes notes*
ta for the wisdom, google translate is just a big pile of poo anyhow, i should have used av babelfish

# danke schon
but the o should have ummelauts
(I helped save b3ta! Batsgirl, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:33, archived)
# I think
it is danke schone.

With the umlaut thingies over the o.

# it has an umlaut I think
you could just say Danke or vielen dank

# veilen dank
is dutch

# it works in germany

'thank you'
(I helped save b3ta! lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:35, archived)

# I'm sure I've heard it used
in germany, but it may well be a regional variant...
(I helped save b3ta! Batsgirl, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:38, archived)

vielen is German for many.
(I helped save b3ta! Baz Fuck off, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:41, archived)
# yeah but a literal translation doesn't always make sense
I got funny looks for "nein danke" - I was literally translating "no thanks" but as a phrase it didn't make sense to the people I was talking to...
(I helped save b3ta! Batsgirl, Mon 29 Sep 2003, 16:46, archived)
# that may be...
...but it's German as well.

danke schön.

What he said

# german spelling
if you need to write german words without accents, put a letter 'e' after the letter with the dots over.

i.e. schoen.

bloody germans.
