How do you say "Thank you" in your dialect?

A fellow Local Guide @Arum_Silviani replied one of my comments with this

“In Bandung, we said, “Haturnuhun”, a Sundanesse dialect :blush:

How do you say thank you in your dialect?

Please specify the region and country!

I will go first, Igbos from South East Nigeria say “Imela”.

However, I live in Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria and they say “In sere”.

Hello @IfeanyiKOH

In Bangladesh, we say 'Dhonnobad’. In Bangla script ‘ধন্যবাদ’। Good to know Imela. :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Hello @IfeanyiKOH . In my Bengkulu dialect I would say “terimo kasih” which is very similar to bahasa Indonesia expression for “terima kasih”. For less formal I would say “trims”.

In Tehran, Iran, we say “mamnoun”, “moteshakeram”, “merci” and the funnest one: “dastet dard nakoneh” which literally means “hope your hand doesn’t hurt”!!! Haha!

Really?! @AdriansyahPutera I think we share peculiarity in this regard because Nigeria is known to have well over 500 dialects. There’s in fact a region named Akoko in Ondo State where some neighbouring villages speak entirely different dialects. I hope to have you come visit Nigeria someday!
