I think we need to remove the word "you" from the salutation "Hello you,".
The French "Salut toi," is just a very friendly greeting, the equivalent of the English "Hi," or "Hey,".
"Hello you" is very uncommon in English, and I feel it sounds almost aggressive...
The rest of the translation is perfect!

I agree with IanMegill2.
I think it would sound better without "you".

Hello Lilian. What do you think of Ian's and maki's suggestion?
I'm neither native nor expert.

Yes, the Danish "Hej med dig" is commonly said in a very personal and friendly way, similar to the English "Hey, you..".

The Danish expression "tak for sidste" is hard to translate into English since "sidste" ("last" in this sentence means "(the) most recent (occasion)", and not "the last".

"thanks for last"
- "what?"

"thanks for [the] last [time]"
- "why, don't you want to see me again?"

"Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the last time."
- "that was your last 'thanks' ever?"


But this is really what's implied:

"thanks for [all the joy we had] [during the] most recent time [we met]."


If there only was a "lastest" or "lastmost" in English..

Dear rchk. I don't think the last sentence is hard to translate. What I think is that there is a typo, and instead of "sidste' it's "sidst" signifying "

last time we met or perhaps had a dinner together.

It't a very commun Danish expression and , personnaly I don't think it's that difficult.

Moreover "sidste" can't be used alone:

last time >>> sidste gang" ans so on, but "sidst"

can.
