I thought Minas Gerais meant "Great Mines"
>>
>>218702051
The region had one very specific type of mining, but if I recall correctly it was so plentiful that it made the people wealthy, so they named the territory "thank you" in portuguese, like they were thanking the land

Latin had a weird and uncanny word order too, it's a very tricky and odd language
>>
>>218702007
Don't worry, thanks much and thank you very much live in in the one trve Latin inheritor, English.

I don't speak european portuguese, but something tells me that's not how tugas say "thank you very much".

Today I noticed a very salty portuguese flag here on /int/, specially towards brazilians, did something crawl up your ass, fellow João? Still blaming your failed moor shithole on us?
>>
>>218702470
how do you say thank you very much in moortuguese then? is it minas gerais or not?
>>
there's no fixed order in Latin for such expressions, in fact, I can find so far only cases of multas before gratias
>sed tamen L. Murenae provincia multas bonas gratias cum optima existimatione attulit
>An non properandum mihi erat, ut pro eo honore uobis multas gratias dicerem
or in some cases summas/maximas
>cum te summis laudibus ad caelum extulerunt, mihi continuo maximas gratias agant
>Vestorius, noster familiaris, ad me scripsit te mihi maximas gratias agere
>Trebatio nostro magnas ago gratias

I always thought it was "muito obrigado", and what you mentioned was a place in Brazil....

Germans say "vielen dank" (much thanks). They are becoming latinx.
