How do you say "thank you" in your native language?

I'm making a thank-you card and I thought it might be fun to write "thank you" on it in all different languages. (It's for a friend of mine who's really into linguistics.) Please post how to say "thank you" in your native tongue, excluding English (obviously). I also have Spanish, French, and Japanese covered. Best answer will be given to the one who posts the most languages.

    Tack (tak) in Swedish.

    mersi- like mear-sea means "thanks"

    and mulţumesc means thank you. That is harder to pronounce for you.

    " ţ " is a specific letter and it is pronounced like "ts"...from "leTS"...or gets...or whatever word.

    the word would be "mool-tsuh-mesk " Oh and it is in Romanian :) ...Transilvania, vampires haha,you know.
