Danish/Appendix A

Danish (Germanic)

 * 1) No word directly corresponds to the word “please”. Danish and Finnish express the concept

of politeness in a request in various ways. One way is to smile while asking for something,

another is to add tak (thank you) to the end of the question: “kan jeg få noget mere at

drikke, tak” (Can I get some more to drink, thanks), although this is more of an anglicised form of Danish.
