Signification
Responding to a thank you.
Contexte culturel
Dutch people value directness. 'Geen dank' is seen as efficient and polite. Flemish speakers often prefer 'Graag gedaan' over 'Geen dank' as it sounds slightly warmer. In Surinamese Dutch, the usage is similar to the Netherlands, but tone is often more relaxed. Politeness is very important; 'Geen dank' is used but often accompanied by a friendly smile.
