"Danke (song) ""Danke"" (Thanks) is a German Christian hymn written by Martin Gotthard Schneider in 1961. It was one of the first songs in the genre later called Neues Geistliches Lied (new spiritual song). The song title was disambiguated to its first line, ""Danke für diesen guten Morgen"" (Thanks for this good morning). The song has been included in the hymnal ""Evangelisches Gesangbuch"". It has been called the best-known German sacred song. Lyrics and music of the song were written by Martin Gotthard Schneider for a competition of the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing for new sacred songs, requesting melodies in the"
"The ticket inspector came. ""Ich bedanke mich"", he said politely. Strange that in German you thank yourself. For a long time he had pondered why the custom differed so much from that of other languages. In French, English, and Dutch you thank the other person and not yourself. Ultimately, he reached the conclusion that it wasn't so much a direct expression of thanks as a form of courtesy in which I declare myself to be thankful. Of course, you could always just say ""Danke schön"". The traveler's thoughts drift from languages to comparisons of European newspaper styles to cross-cultural observations,"

It is the short form of a more formal salutation, ""Gesegnete Mahlzeit"" (archaic term, de: ""Blessed mealtime""). The salutation is commonly used without connection to food or eating in Northern Germany, and this usage, corresponding to something like ""hello, everyone"" or ""I'm off, folks"", is becoming more and more widespread in informal settings, such as between office co-workers. In Austria it is used as a salutation during meal times and can also be used before drinking Sturm (Federweisser) as reference to the meal-like quality"

The lyrics, in German: Translation: Sanja Trumbić was the singer, and this was one of her nationalistic songs the artistic values were criticized.

"Low German dialects commonly encountered in the United States, such as Pennsylvania German or Yiddish, the word ""schön"" rhymes with the English words ""pain"" and ""explain"".

The German letter ""ö"" can also be written using the older typography ""oe"" (schön = schoen) – of which the umlauted O is a contraction – when umlauts are unavailable or not readily accessible.

"since ""kennen"" means ""to know"" and ""lernen"" means ""to learn"". The Germanic languages combine the concept of aspect with the concept of tense. Although English largely separates tense and aspect formally, its aspects (neutral, progressive, perfect, progressive perfect, and [in the past tense] habitual) do not correspond very closely to the distinction of perfective vs. imperfective that is found in most languages with aspect. Furthermore, the separation of tense and aspect in English is not maintained rigidly. One instance of this is the alternation, in some forms of English, between sentences such as ""Have you eaten?"" and ""Did you eat?""."
"English language still has, disappeared on the continent in German with the consonant shifts between the 8th and the 10th centuries.

Likewise, the gh in Germanic English words, pronounced in several different ways in modern English (as an f, or not at all), can often be linked to German ch: ""to laugh"""
"Die Wende In hindsight, the German word (meaning ""The Turn"") then took on a new meaning; the phrase """", literally ""since the change"", means ""since reunification"" or ""since the Wall fell"". This period is marked by West German aid to East Germany, a total reaching an estimated $775 billion over 10 years. To some extent, Germany is still in the midst of the (post- period): differences between East and West still exist, and a process of ""inner reunification"" is not yet finished. This fundamental change has marked the reunification of Germany. The term was first used publicly in East Germany"

Arthur Waley believed that ""de"" was better translated ""power"" than ""virtue"", and explained with a ""bank of fortune"" metaphor. It is usually translated 'virtue', and this often seems to work quite well; though where the word occurs in early, pre-moralistic texts such a translation is in reality quite false.

It acquired its modern meaning through the practice of counting the recitation of prayers by using beads.

The Old English roots may be seen in the similarity of numbers in English and German, particularly ""seven/sieben,"" ""eight/acht,"" ""nine/neun,"" and ""ten/zehn.""

"Danke Schoen ""Danke Schoen"" is a pop song of German origin. Bert Kaempfert, who composed the melody, recorded it as an instrumental, in 1959 and later in 1962, under the title ""Candlelight Cafe"". Kurt Schwabach wrote the German lyrics. The song gained international fame in 1963 when singer Wayne Newton recorded an American version, with English lyrics by Milt Gabler. The song achieved renewed popularity when it was featured in the 1986 American comedy film ""Ferris Bueller's Day Off"", lip synced by the main character, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick).
