Sometimes when I say danke (thanks or thank you) some of my friends will say (and the spelling is wrong but it's as close as I can get) they will say danata or maybe it's dinata.
I assumed they meant thanks but a Google search doesn’t give me that kind of result. What does dinata mean and what language is it from?
Where I live people have mixed langauge conversations fairly regularly by mixing their native language with whatever they're trying to learn - usually German or English, so that reaction is probably automatic.
