Learn Swedish: Tack så mycket! Jag är glad. - Thank you very much! I am happy.

Literally, this phrase translates to "Thanks so much." The word så means "so" and mycket means "much." Together, they form the standard, everyday Swedish way to say "Thank you very much."

Does the Swedish word glad mean exactly the same thing as the English word "glad"?

They look the same and are related, but in Swedish, glad is the most common word for "happy" in general. In English, "glad" often means you are relieved or pleased about a specific thing, but in Swedish you use glad simply to describe being in a happy mood.

If the sentence changed to "He is happy," would the verb är change?

No! One of the easiest things about Swedish grammar for English speakers is that verbs never change depending on the person doing the action. It is jag är (I am), du är (you are), han är (he is), and so on. The verb stays exactly the same.

Would the word glad stay the same if I said "We are happy"?

No, it would change. In Swedish, adjectives (describing words like glad) get an extra -a at the end when they describe more than one person or thing (plural). So, for "We are happy," you would say Vi är glada. Because jag (I) is only one person, we just use the base form glad.
