  • "Itadakimasu" is word that describes thanks for everyone who let us eat those foods: such as farmer, fisherman, food processor, person(s) who cooked them, etc and sometimes person(s) pay for those foods. And when we say "Itadakimasu", we also thank for everything what let them to eat: such as sun, weather, farm, and so on. Furthermore we thank for life of animals, fishes, vegetables which was lost to be eaten.
    And when we say "Gotisou sama deshita", we thank for everyone and everythings again.
  • Don't say "Tabe nasai" when you want to say "Kumain ka.". Because "Tabe nasai" is ordering word which parent says to his/her child(ren) or teacher says to his/her student(s). Say "Otabe-kudasai" etc when you want to recommend to eat.
