I assumed they meant thanks but a Google search doesn’t give me that kind of result. What does dinata mean and what language is it from?

    Dunno how native speakers would do it, but usually I answer “bitte” for “danke”, “bitte schön” for “danke schön”.

    Fun fact: saying “bitte” near my cat prompts her to rub her face on your leg. All the time. I speak in German with her, and when she obeys my commands I tell her “bitte” and pet her, so now she associated the word with being petted.

      Another fun fact: if you want to say “bitte schön” in Austrian German casual, you can just say “bitchin’.

      If they “danke schön” me, I’ll usually respond with “darlin’”.
