How do you say thank in Shanghainese?

The most common way to say "thank you" in Shanghainese is:

谢谢 (xièxie)

This is the same as the Mandarin Chinese word for "thank you". However, Shanghainese has its own unique pronunciation, which can be slightly different from Mandarin.

Here are some other ways to say "thank you" in Shanghainese, depending on the context:

* 唔谢 (mù xiè): This is a more informal way to say "thank you," often used among friends and family. It literally means "no need to thank."

* 感谢 (gǎnxiè): This is a more formal way to say "thank you," and it's often used in business or professional settings.

* 谢谢侬 (xièxie nóng): This is a more polite way to say "thank you" by adding "侬 (nóng)" which is the Shanghainese word for "you."

It's important to note that Shanghainese is a tonal language, and the meaning of a word can change depending on the tone. So, make sure to learn the correct pronunciation and tones for each word.
