These are similar to Let's eating and I'm finished but a little different from Itadakimasu to Let's eating,gochisosama to I'm finished. It is difficult to translate in English. Itadakimasu means the thankful word for food and gochisosama means thankful word for eating yummy.We certainly say Itadakimasu and gochisosama when we have with a group and family.

Itadakimasu

Japanese people say "itadakimasu" before eating a meal and "gochisosama" after eating. These are almost similar to “let's eat” and “I'm finished” respectively but a little different from Itadakimasu to Let's eating,gochisosama to I'm finished. It is difficult to translate them in English. “Itadakimasu” means the thankful word “thank you for the food” (I'm about to receive) and “gochisosama” means “thanks for the delicious meal”.We certainly say “itadakimasu” and “gochisosama” when we have are with a group of people or our family. Are there the same words (expressions) in other countries?
