> How do you say "thank you" in your conlangs?
Wessisc is an offshoot of Anglo-Saxon, so it may look a little
familiar. There's a few different situations here. You can either use
the verb or the noun.
NOUN - "Thanks!"
Þænk (masculine noun)
plural: Þænkan
verb:
For a phrase like this, the subject pronouns are usually dropped. I
include them in brackets for reference.
1st person singular thanking 2nd person singular
(igh) þænk ti
I (first person singular, nominative) thank (verb present tense, 1st
person) you (2nd person singular, dative)
(igh - pronounced the same as German "ich", light ch sound)
(þænk - þ th as in "thing", æ as in "bad")
(ti - i as in "bit"
