Ok, Lemmy, let’s another play a game!

And I honestly think this one’s more important.

Post how many languages in which you can say Please and Thank You, including your native language. If you can, please provide which languages and how to phonetically say them so the rest of us can learn!

I spent a fair amount of bopping around Europe in the early Aughts and as a native English speaker, I found everyone appreciating my bad mangled attempts at politeness.

    Interesting, I seem to know “thank you” in a few languages, but not “please”. I wonder what that indicates…

    Spanish: por favor, gracias

    French: sil vous plait, merci

    Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

    Mandarin: ?, xie xie

    Japanese: ?, arigato

    German: ?, danke

    Italian: ?, grazie

    Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)
