Danke!

If you were trying to say 'Thanks' in German, you have to find better ways of saying that. 'Danke' actually means 'No, Thanks' in German!

If you must get into root-cause analysis, Bourne says this in "The Bourne Ultimatum" to someone as "Thanks!". Not sure about language.

Only when someone offers you something and if you respond saying 'Danke', it is considered as 'No, thanks'.

Example:

Ramsi: Do you want some coffee?
Deepak: Danke (means "No, thanks").


In all other cases, Danke means 'Thanks'


Ramsi: I have mailed the document you asked for. Did you get it?
Deepak: Ja. Danke (means "yes, thanks")

@மர்ம வீரன்: Danke :-)

Cool. I got it right the first time then. Bourne rarely makes mistakes!
