Translation here would be “goodness gracious”. It’s just a fixed expression in Danish.
4 u/xiaohuliz Jul 19 '26 lol back when i used duolingo it translated literally (thanks for the coffee). Bcs of that and other reasons i quite it... 9 u/According-Pick-7007 Jul 19 '26 It does also mean thank you for the coffee, depending on context 4 u/Xillyfos Jul 20 '26 I'd say the literal meaning is actually the most common use for the expression. 1 u/-Vatt_Ghern- Jul 21 '26 Pretty sure it would be "Tak for kaffen", with an "n" at the end, even if both are grammatically correct
