Literally: Danke schön (also seen as Danke schoen) means "Thanks (nicely)" with the connotation of "Thank you very much."

In US English, people have pronounced it as "donka shane", rather than "donkeh shewn" - notably in a popular 1962 song written by Bert Kaempfert with English lyrics by Milt Gabler, and sung by Wayne Newton.

This, as all German words that end with "e", is pronounced including the last letter.

"DAN-ke" ('ke' neutral, like English 'the')

In German, after someone says thank you, "Danke", you typically reply with you're welcome "Bitte" (or bitteschön: Dankeschön/Bitteschön).
