It is also widely used to express something like "I told you so" or "I already warned you that this will happen. You did this to yourself." in a single word.

E.g. "Did you hear about my anti-vaxx aunt Hildegard? She died of Covid last month."

"Tja."

Dutch people use it (although I doubt it's an official word), meaning something like "that's what you get" or "oh well".

Also used in German

OK that makes sense, though I wonder why they mixed Danish and English; maybe that's common and I've just never seen it before

Also means "hi" in swedish.
