[nino852303]

Hon tackade för maten? She thanked for the food.

[IgorJovano1]

But where is she said thanks for the food. Shouldn't it be somety like: hon berättade tack för måtten.

[Hayco7]

Hon sa tack ...

[BertBerw]

Is the correct way of saying "thanks for (something)" to someone always "tack för"?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes.

[cynyork]

so she thanked (no one particular) for the food? You don't need to say "tackada oss" or whatever ? Is that even on option?

[Flutterby42]

I've noticed it's very common for people to say "tack for maten" at the end of a meal, so this sentence sounds like an observation that she had done so.

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, if you want to be specific you could say "Hon tackade oss för maten" or so. Since the food is in the definite here, it's most likely she said this after a meal of some sort.

[nporter7]

Could this have a religious meaning to it? As in, said a prayer: She thanked (God) for the food.

[StephenWat314748]

I made a total mess of this one! Why not sade tack? She thanked for food doesn't make much sense in English...

[RyanHaywar10]

Uh so no need to say 'said' here then

[Pedro242425]

"She thanked for the food. " would be the closest english version ...
