Really? Isn't there a German word that's similar then? Or am I mixing a somewhat similar sounding, but totally different word in German with dankewol?

vijayjohn wrote:Danke means 'thank you' in German, of course, and wohl is also a word in German (as is jawohl/jawoll), but I can't think of anything in German that sounds like dankewol. Dutch has dank je wel or dankjewel, though, meaning 'thank you very much'.

Dankewol! This seems to be used in Frisian as well as German; I wonder if it's a loanword or cognate?
As for Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese take care of that! It's like as soon as I see a basic word, there's a 50% chance I can guess the meaning. That doesn't work when writing obviously, nor when speaking or listening.
