Cultural Note
'Bedankt' is the most common way to say thanks. More formal alternatives include 'dank u wel' (thank you, formal) and 'dank je wel' (thank you, informal). The Dutch appreciate directness but are also quite polite — saying 'bedankt' when leaving a shop or receiving service is standard.
