Online dictionaries are disappointing

I note that you have not been able to thank me properly in Dutch, although
you used a lot of languages (and tried, I think, Dutch, but that was
German).

Sorry, ***, but I tried. It wasn't (meant to be) German.

I accessed an online dictionary for the Dutch word for "thank" 9r
"thank you", and got the word I used.

I won't try again to thank you in Dutch, since I doubt I'll find the
right word. Online dictionaries are disappointing as to accuracy or
you need the context to use the right word.

I absolutely do not pretend to know other languages fluently, like
others who think they know English.

I do know some French - I learned it in school for a career in
mathematics, since French is (was?) one of the primary languages of
mathematics.

I know some Spanish, too. I got it mostly from U.S. television!

BUT, I'll just stick with English, and thank you in that manner.

Thanks!
