Talk:thank you very much

Ironical meaning

That phrase may have an ironical meaning sometimes. For example:

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. J.K. Rowling

Is it worth mentioning? Dart evader 11:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I think so. It's been in British use for many years (at least 50). Will do it. Enginear 11:36, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

"Děkuji pěkně" is not usual in modern Czech. Better way how to express is "děkuji mnohokrát" (formal variant) or "mockrát děkuji" (informal). "Děkuji pěkně" is more used in ironic meaning, as sarcastic way how to refuse some inconvenient offer.

There's a lot/a bunch/a ton/a million/loads/heaps/much/so much/very much/so very much more, but let's start with these. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Strong keep for thank you very much — we need it to host translations! I abstain re the others, as I have no problem with deleting them but see no reason to do so. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 19:43, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Keep thank you very much. Redirect thank you so much. I think so very much is an unusual construction, and I’d like to know native speakers’ judgement. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 03:47, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Not very unusual, just emphatic: "I love/hate him so very much!" Equinox ◑ 10:38, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep 'em all. In English, these are 4 words. In French, these are 2 words. Also, Elvis. Purplebackpack89 15:08, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

  I don't speak French, but are the two words merci and beaucoup? If so those are easily found on the component pages. We should probably get rid of merci beaucoup as well. - TheDaveRoss 15:44, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep thank you very much as a phrasebook entry. Delete the others. --WikiTiki89 15:34, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete this one, BTW, since it seems particularly egregiously SoP. Don't care about the other two: I suppose they are good for phrasebook or something. Equinox ◑ 21:55, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

If anyone cared enough about having a phrasebook to get some kind of policies or guidelines based on our experience to date with such entries, then we might me said to have a phrasebook. What we actually have is failure, along the lines of having a Shorthand L3/4 header. DCDuring TALK 01:18, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

• Keep thank you very much as a phrasebook entry. Hard-redirect the other two to it. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

No consensus as to thank you very much; the other two are hard-redirected to it. bd2412 T 19:26, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
