معنی
Expressing gratitude.
زمینه فرهنگی
The Dutch value sincerity over politeness. If you say 'Heel erg bedankt,' make sure you look the person in the eye. A lack of eye contact can make the phrase seem insincere. In Dutch-speaking Belgium, people might use 'Dank u wel' more often than 'Heel erg bedankt,' as the culture is slightly more formal and traditional in its expressions of gratitude. In Surinamese Dutch, gratitude is often expressed with a lot of warmth. 'Heel erg bedankt' is common, but you might also hear 'Gran tangi' (Sranan Tongo for 'big thanks') mixed in. In offices, 'Heel erg bedankt' is often used to end a meeting where consensus was reached. It signals that the collaboration was successful.
The 'Voor' Rule
Always follow the phrase with 'voor' if you want to mention the reason. 'Heel erg bedankt voor...'
Don't overdo it
If someone just passes you the salt, a simple 'Bedankt' is better. 'Heel erg bedankt' is for bigger things!
