'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.
