Glad I could help ^_^
Desu is the Japanese copula verb. Essentially, is ithe equivalent to the English verb "to be."
For example:
Toire was doko
desu ka
Where
is the bathroom?
Ima wa nanji
desu ka
What time
is it right now?
Watashi wa gakusei
desu.
I
am a student.
Thank you in varying degrees (from casual to formal):

You're welcome:
