Hi, I'm currently living and working in Japan. I've noticed that in general people don't pronounce the う in す when it's at the end of a word. But sometimes I've also noticed they pronounce the う, specially in shops or call-centers when using polite/formal language. So, is it just a thing that depends on the person talking, or does formal/polite language imply pronouncing the う in すat the end of words (ありがとうがざいます - gozaimasu instead of gozaimas, for example)
