Another very commonly known japanese word "Arigatou"
However, most people pronounce it slightly incorrectly. The "ou" at the end indicates a long o sound. Like "ohhh"
Additionally, it is the informal version. If you were to go to Japan and say this, people would either think you don't care or you feel like you're already BFFs.
"Arigatou gozaimasu" is the formal version, and the "su" at the end is just an "s" sound.
Obrigado/Obrigada in Portuguese. If you're a guy, it's always "obrigado" (oh-bree-gah-doo) no matter who you're talking to. For girls, it's always "obrigada" (oh-bree-gah-dah). It technically means something along the lines of "I'm obligated to you/I'm indebted to you," but it is just used as a regular "thank you."
I know in German Thank you is Danke schön.
It reminds me of this old joke my Dad told me.
There was this American visiting Germany. He gets this hotel and begs the clerk to give him a room no where near train tracks and the clerk assured him there is no train tracks on his side of the hotel.
Next morning the clerk ask how the American slept. The American says you lied to me I heard the train go by all morning long!
And the clerk looked at him all puzzled than laughed and said No sir that wasn’t a train it was polite German builders.
Danke schön (thank you)

It shows it seperate but the romaji is just for pronunciation purposes.

Hindi and Urdu have been assimilated a lot in India, so it's cool to have interchangeable words.
