Oops!

Today, I've learned to say "otskare sama deshita" which literally means "You must be tired" which is the English equivalent of "You worked hard today, good job". Apparently, what I've been saying "gochiso sama deshita" means "Thanks for the food". On paper they seem very different, but when spoken fast, all I hear is blah-blah-deshita. For two whole weeks every single day, I've been saying that. No one had the heart to tell me that I was wrong; Omigosh how embarrassing. How they could not die of laughter every single night is beyond my understanding. I laughed for like 10 minutes after I found out, and then they thought it was ok to laugh with me (at me).
