Pride Lands

2 Kotenok_gaff: I prefer the North, anyway. Maybe we can see the sun not so often like our friends from South but I prefer living at 20-25ºC in Summer and not at 35-40ºC like them. I don´t like high temperatures..

GRATS!!!

Hmm... solves a theory of mine (thanks very much, BTW.)

English: Congratulations
Shortened: Congrats.
Shortened more: Grats.
Typo: Gratz.
Italian: Grazie.
Spanish: Gracias.

Hmmm...

^Genious

but, grazias and congratulations have nothing in common.. do they?

Hmm...

"Congratulate" comes from the Latin word "Congratuli," meaning "one is pleased."

And, of course, "Please" and "Thank You" Go hand-in-hand.

Yes, they do... But the meaning's different... Please is begging, Thank you is thanking ... You can say plase, but if you don't get what you're asking for, I don't know how you're going to say "thank you"

In German, "Bitteschön" can mean both "Please" and "You're Welcome." In addition, you can also say "Gern Geschehen" to say "You're Welcome."

"Please" also has a Scandinavian origin, but its pronunciation is different.

Many ways to say "thanks:"
