Frank es correcte in su exemplo germanic: Recht herzlichen Dank=Thank
you VERY much. Le parola right/recht reinfortia le expression como in
anglese.

In svedese le cosa es quasi contrari. Usate in similar expressiones
'rätt' (ra"tt) significa un debilitation. In tal casos on pote usar
synonymos a 'rätt' como 'ganska' (a.rather, i.satis) o 'tämligen'
(g.ziemlich).

"Diskussionen var rätt (ganska, tämligen) intressant" significa que "le
discussion esseva acceptabilemente interessante" ma non
interessantissime.
