No, "danka" is not a German word. The correct German word is "danke". "Danke" is the German word for "thank you".
Danke
AnswerThe word thank derives from Old English pancian, meaning to give thanks, which in turn derrives from the Proto-German term thankojan, which also spawned the Middle German term danken, meaning to thank.The English term thank you was shortened from the phrase I thank you.
'Sanke' is not a word in German. Perhaps you're confusing it with the word 'sanken' (plural [they] sank) or the word for thank you, 'danke'. Other than that, I'm really not sure.
Dankeschön translates as thank you (very much)

Thank comes from the same root as the modern German "danke". Both ultimately come from the proto-germanic *thankojan. To thank is actually related to the word "Think." They are from the same root it appears in fact - remember this the next time you say "thank you"!
