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. ^^

It's "Itadakimasu".
The traditional phrase that the Japanese say before they eat is "Itadakimasu," which is a polite way of expressing gratitude for the meal.
Itadakimasu is pretty much like saying "let's eat!" or "bon appétit" before a meal. It's said to thank those who've prepared the meal or helped prepare it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6XKvhtxtTw
i think it means lets eat so i guess it table manners or something.I think it means Thank You For This Meal!
'Ima [kara] tabemasu.' Or, sitting at a table with food, simply saying 'itadakimasu.'
'Itadakimasu' is said before partaking. For a more conversational "I'm planning to eat ... (soon/later/so will you come with me/etc)," you may say 'Nanika tabeyou to omotte imasu ga' ("I'm thinking about eating, so ...")
"Itadakimasu" is a Japanese phrase used before eating to express gratitude for the food. It can be translated as "I humbly receive" or "Thank you for the meal." The phrase represents a deep appreciation for the effort and energy that went into preparing the food, and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all beings involved in the process.
