"Thanks."

Translation: Díky.

[uvlalid]

I've not encountered "vám" yet. What does it mean?

[VladaFu]

"to you" or just "you" as an object (in this sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_pronoun)

[ChudyBohac]

As VladaFu stated, it means "to you." This is because it's "vy" (you) in the Dative case, which you can think of as "indirect object" case.

Is there a rule when thanks is Dekuji vam and when diky?

[VladaFu]

Děkuji is more formal, díky is less formal. Děkuju is in between.

[deactivated user]

uh. wasn't "díky" thanks?

i belive "děkuji vám" is more like "thank you very much"?

[VladaFu]

Yes, "Thank you", the "very much" is probably extra and we have other equivalents in Czech "Děkuju pěkně, Děkuji mockrát, Díky moc,...). We chose not to distinguish between the level of formality and we accept all other equivalents everywhere.

[SantiYeChe]

So are there any differences between the two thanks?

[VladaFu]

Read the reply to AnnaPeters and the rest of the discussion.

[AmieeLynn]

So is Díky suppose to be a shorter way to say thank you in czech.

Ex: thanks = Díky
Thank you= dekuji

Ps. Yes ik dekuji doesnt have it's accent but thats cuz my phone dont have the accent.

[BoneheadBass]

Yes, that's right. Děkuji is more formal than díky.

[AdityaDesh6]

Is that a short version?

[BoneheadBass]

"Thank you" would be děkuji, and díky is "thanks." So, yes. it is similar to how "thanks" can be viewed as a short version of "thank you," but perhaps it is more like an "informal" version.
