I did allow that the sentiment might be expressed in a very different way in the two languages. That said, I would also like to know which word is best when I want to talk about the hospitality I recieved to other Japanese. | |

It means something like "I'm very much obliged/indebted" and sort of implies that someone went out of their way to do something for you. Its content is much like saying "thank you", but the nuance conveys some humility on your part. In any case, it's a good phrase to know, in particular for a hospitality situation, because someone hosted you and there is little you can do to pay them back. | |
