Thanks very much indeed

[echineko 1]

I heard this yesterday from British friend. What does the 'indeed' mean? Is it polite way of saying it?

I use "indeed" to confirm something.

like if Mrs. JPchucky says "Did you take the trash out?" I say " I did, indeed."

 

I don't speak a word of british. To say "Thanks very much, indeed" sounds a bit strange to me unless he said "thank you" and then you said "really" and then he said " thanks very much, indeed" Might want to check here: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=indeed

 

I think it's pretty polite. I would just say "yeah"

It's just a way of making the 'thank you' stronger.

 

Like putting 'honto ni' or even 'makoto ni' on the front.

 

What did you do for this friend that made him say "Thanks very much indeed?"

Indeed!
