How do you say Thank You in Dutch?
Dutch picks the thank-you to match how you address the person: dank je for someone you call je, dank u for someone you call u. Bedankt sidesteps the choice and is what people say most.

We say "Bedankt" or "dank je wel". Also we sometimes use "dank u wel". Witch is mostly used when talking to elderly people or people we don't know. It shows a little bit more respect then the first two options.

'Bedankt' is the Dutch way to say it. So 'Our thank you flowers and gifts will get started in saying thank you.' would become: Onze dank u bloemen en geschenken zal slag in dank uitspreken.

Good to know
What you are thanking for takes voor: bedankt voor je hulp — thanks for your help.
Belgian Dutch (Flemish) uses u more readily than the Netherlands, where je is the default with anyone your own age.
Alsjeblieft and alstublieft mean both “please” and “here you go” when handing something over.
