**** 御馳走様；ごちそうさま：GOCHISOU-SAMA ****

This is the word after meal.

"GOCHISOU" means "gorgeous meal" and "SAMA" would express the respect.
Then "GOCHISOU-SAMA" means "Thank you for gorgeous meal".

I had been believed that it was word for my mother. It is not so wrong.

Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
