As you may have seen in films or mangas (or on a visit to Japan), the Japanese always say "gochisousama" after eating.
In this video, you will learn everything you need to know about this word: its historical background, the origin of its kanji (ご馳走様) and so on.

While usually, gochisousama means "Thank you for the meal", there is another meaning you may not know, and you should be careful how to use it.

I will also explain the difference between GOCHISOUSAMA, GOCHISOUSAMADESU and GOCHISOUSAMADESHITA.
