Think of it as saying grace in many western cultures. It is just a polite thing to say, it is like you are thanking everybody that went into the creation of the food you are about to eat.

In Japan before you eat you say itekimasu or itadakimasu?
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. ^^ improved by: TaberoCake; gamer1489
