"Bra, takk!"

Translation: Well, thanks!

[ZSMJ]

It's interesting to see the origin of some Scottish slang, we say "braw" for good and "bairn" for child!

[pa1975]

Both words come from Scots and are closely related to those found in norwegian.

[jessibubbles]

Also kirk (Scots) and kirke (Norwegian). Both mean church.

[hanalingo]

Why is that? Is it because of fhe Vikings?

[Dave-O.]

And braf means fine in Welsh.

[Beingfollowed]

When should I use 'Bra' and when should I use 'God'?

[Stigjohan]

I think you can default to 'bra', but 'god' sounds more natural to me if you're speaking about certain things, like good food or being good at something.

[YazykPineapple]

The translation says "bra" can be either "well" or "good." So is this sentence a response to a question like: "How are you?" - "Oh I'm good, thanks." Or is it like a begrudging thanks like: "I got you a sweater for Christmas!" - "Well...thanks..." ???

[Bronzdragon]

Bra is a positive word, so it cannot be used as in your second example. You can say something like "Uh... takk?" though, if you want to be mean to poor 'ol grandma!

[AtalinaDove]

I think that it means 'well' just in the context of "How are you doing?" "I'm doing well, thank you", maybe rather than well as a word to lead into a sentence "Well, I think that I could..."

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[feeble_weakling]

he, so that's where it comes from

I thought the same! haha

[Vivek21257]

haha nice to see some stargate sg1 fans here :)

[pa1975]

Should not be 'fine thanks' the English equivalent for 'bra, takk'?

[BilawalRiaz]

I've heard people say "veldig bra". Can that also be said as " veldig god"?

[orkundestici]

What is the meaning of "veldig"?

[arm_herr66]

Veldig means "very"

[Quentin643619]

Can somebody explain when these should be used?:
-God
-Bra
-Fin
-Flott
-Hyggelig

[Erin864481]

For takk, does it only mean thank you or could you out thanks and it still be correct?

[ClassiDuo]

It doesn't accept "OK, thanks": should it?
