### Thank you

**{{item:1172133}}** is *thanks*. Danes say it often — for the food, for help, for a nice evening. To make it stronger, say **{{item:1172136}}** (many thanks) or **{{item:1172138}}** (a thousand thanks).

{{item:1172144}}

When someone hands you something, the polite reply is **{{item:1172141}}** — literally *thanks you shall have*.

### You're welcome, and here you are

The answer to *tak* is **{{item:1172143}}** — *you're welcome*, literally *thanks yourself*.

**{{item:1172149}}** has no exact English word. You say it when you give something to someone, or invite them to start: *here you are*, *help yourself*, *go ahead*.

{{item:1172150}}

### Saying no politely

**{{item:1172146}}** is *no thank you*. A plain *nej* to an offer sounds rude in Danish.

{{item:1172148}}

### Sorry

**{{item:1172152}}** means both *sorry* and *excuse me* — use it to apologise or to get someone's attention. The friendly reply is **{{item:1172155}}** — *never mind, no problem*.

{{item:1172153}}

{{item:1172156}}

**{{item:1172158}}** and **{{item:1172161}}** (of course) round off the set:

{{item:1172162}}
