"Tak" in Swedish means "roof", so if you accidentally extend the a and say "Tak" instead of "Tack" you're saying "Roof so much".
I know someone who was learning Swedish and insisted "Tack" was pronounced "Tak" - to a native Swede. Oh, how we laughed at his folly, and indeed still do to this day in happy reminiscences.
