I decided to get into the dslr stage and will buy myself a nikon d80. Now the question is I found a great offer where I get the
body, + 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 and a 55-200mm 4-5.6 lenses for 1200eur,
for the same price i can also get a body with kit 18-70mm 3.5-4.5 lens.

So would you recommend getting the one where i get two lenses, or the one kit lens which i heard is worth to get. Would like to get the better lens from the beginning so I do not have to buy new one for at least a few months. Although there is a mind that I will probably get a static 50mm 1.8 in some future.

Any suggestions are helpful.

The 18-70mm zoom will be far the most useful. I think 3.5 is a disappointing figure, a little restrictive. The 50mm/1.8 sounds like a gem if it produces good resolution.

nikkor 17-35 is good for wider shots. Better than a 18-35.

How the hell would you notice any difference?!

It's noticeable. Finer detail. Wider frame. Seems too fine but I've used both and would be happier with the 17.
