Comment on Sometimes when I say danke (thanks or thank you) some of my friends will say (and the spelling is wrong but it's as close as I can get) they will say danata or maybe it's dinata.

  Oder “nichts zu danken”.

  Do you happen to know why it's "keine Ursache"? That is a thing in Danish and Norwegian too ("ingen årsak") and I always thought it was a weird phrase.

    Swedish too. I've always assumed the implicit meaning is roughly "there is [no reason] to thank me".

      That makes sense. For some reason, I thought it was something like "no reason to do what I did". So basically "Sure, totally no ulterior motives here, by the way!", which seemed kinda weird to me.
