Japanese people say "Ittadakimasu" - pronounced "ee-ta-da-ki-mas". As always, the final 'u' is silent. Hope this helps!

More help on how to pronounce it... i (like eat) ta-da-key-ma (like, ma/pa)- s (kind of like the sound a snake makes).

There is no "marss" sound in Itadakimasu.

It's pronounced like.

Ee-tah-dack-ee-mah-ss

If there was an L in masu it would probaby be pronounced like marss. Which would end up being marrsu/marsu.

But I'm sure this is a spelling mistake.

Fixing it so you wouldn't be confused. ^^

After a meal they say "Gochisou-sama"

It's 'gochisou samadeshita'

also, "itedakimasu" before you eat. And never eat after you say "gochisou samadeshita," it's considered very bad manners.

Itadakimasu.

This comes from the humble conjugations of certain verbs. Roughly, it means that you are about to (humbly) about to eat the food that has been (graciously) served to you.

It can also mean 'to humbly receive X'

Itadakimasu, which literally means I humbly receive. It's a way of saying thanks before eating. It's meant to thank everyone who helped make the food in some way (farmers, hunters, chefs,etc.). After eating, it's customary to say Gochisōsama-deshita, which means Thank you for a good meal.
