English term or phrase: thanks
thanks
Marcel Carbillet
Tack så mycket.
Explanation:
Other forms which may be found in dictionaries are not in common use today. Geriatrics, like myself, may say:
- Jag tackar (=> you are superior to me!)
- Tack (=> you are inferior to me!)
- Tack skall du/ni ha (=> you are my equal.)
- Man tackar (=> I belong to the working class, you are superior to me and I am too old to be alive!)
- Tack skall Ni ha (=> I belong to social group one, you are superior to me and I am too old to be alive!
Don't use any of above unless you are translating a historical novel!

Explanation:
"Thanks" is on the informal side so other words could also be used.

Tackar (thanks)

Tack ska du ha (informal, frieddly. directed to one person)

Tack ska ni ha (same as above but now to a group)

Tack så mycket. (thanks a lot)
