To wish someone ‘good morning’ in Spanish, say ‘buenos días’. By learning ‘buenos días’ and other basic Spanish greetings, you’ll be mingling with the locals before you know it. Sometimes a plain ‘hello’ in Spanish, or ‘hola’, can be too short of a greeting in friendly Latin America or Spain, and it can give you away as a tourist. The Spanish version would be ‘buenos días’ and it’s a very useful phrase when visiting a Spanish-speaking country. It can also be used in a normal conversation to say, ‘sure’.įor instance, I may ask if you could help me learn German, and you could respond by saying, Na klar, kein Problem.“Good morning” is a universal greeting and the most appropriate way to greet anyone before noon. It is however, not limited to ‘thank you’.
Kein means in this case ‘no’, and so kein Problem means ‘no problem’. You will also hear the casual: Kein Problem! Keine Ursache translates to ‘no reason to mention it’.įor instance your friend may drop an item and you pick it up for them, and when they say ‘thank you’, you can just smile and say keine Ursache. It’s also very courteous and friendly and though it’s mostly used in formal occasions, you can use it casually too. When you do someone a favor and they thank you for it, you can say gern geschehen to mean ‘done gladly’, ‘it’s my pleasure’ or again ‘you’re welcome’. It is also a response that is considered very courteous. This is appropriate to show humility or to state that what you did was your duty and so you were just playing your part.
When for instance you do a good job and your superior thanks you for it, you may say nichts zu danken, which means you’re welcome or rather ‘nothing to thank for’. This phrase means ‘kind thanks from the heart’, and now we have enough hearts to move to the next section.īut before we move on, I would like to tell you not to overthink it.Īll these forms are interchangeable and appropriate, and the best way to internalize them is to learn the German language naturally.
What do you say when you get to your destination? This phrase would be quite ideal for such circumstances.

It could fit in the above situation, but mostly, it is used when someone has done a series of things or helped in many ways to the completion of an event, especially a formal one. This basically means thanks a lot for everything. It could be used to appreciate a host after a formal party or when your senior does you a huge favor. In German, tausend is a thousand, and so tausend Dank means a thousand thanks. It’s more or less the same as vielen herzlichen Dank just a tad more formal. We have already seen that herzlichen Dank means heartfelt thanks, and so vielen herzlichen Dank means many heartfelt thanks. To show you what I mean, here is an easy and basic vocabulary lesson to see how the German language structure differs from English.Īfter that basic lesson, you can run a quick check of this funny TPRS German lesson to learn a bit more and get a feel of some good ‘ol German humour. What you need is to develop a feel for the language by listening to it in an actual conversation, and your brain will store the structure, words and meaning naturally. Remember:Do not translate German to English word for word, because the structure is different. It may be a bit formal than the conventional danke, but you could use it in any occasion to add some spice to your German! This is because even though it’s an adverb, in this case it becomes a noun and therefore must be capitalized. Now you’re probably wondering why I capitalized the word ‘ Voraus’. If someone promises to do something for you or offers you something, you could respond with ‘ danke im Voraus’ which means ‘thank you in advance’.
Like you could say “ Ich bin sehr hungrig.” – I’m very hungry.ĭanke sehrtherefore means thank you very much.
