I assumed they meant thanks but a Google search doesn’t give me that kind of result. What does dinata mean and what language is it from?

    It feels paranoia inducing, because why are you switching languages while we’re talking? And who are you trying to hide our conversation from? The feds? 😂😂

    E:I feel like y’all may get be taking this comment a bit too seriously. Issa joke.

      Feds can translate. No one’s trying to hide anything.

      I like to say graçias because I find the phrases “thanks” and “thank you very much” can often be interpreted to be sarcastic, and the phrase “thank you” can sound overly formal. Likewise, “you’re welcome” can sound overly formal, hence de nada.

      I work in multinational company and I can say ‘thank you’ in 6-7 languages. I say abrigado to a Polish guy and spasibo to the Italian just for fun

      I think in two languages and sometimes one of them is better for expressing my thoughts, even if it’s not the language that we’ve been using for the conversation so far. And sometimes it just happens mid-sentence.
