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.
Swede here. “Tillhör alla” means ”belongs to everyone”. There isn’t a precise word for “please” in Swedish, we say thanks instead. Or sometimes we use the phrase “could you be so kind to…”. I struggle to say please in English and I probably sound harsh and bad-mannered.
