Why do Japanese say Masu?
Could you please explain the origin and cultural significance behind the Japanese phrase "Masu"? Is it a traditional greeting, a show of respect, or perhaps a customary way of acknowledging a toast during meals? I'm particularly intrigued by how it's commonly used in social settings and if there's a deeper meaning associated with it beyond its literal translation. Understanding the nuances of this phrase would greatly enrich my appreciation for Japanese culture and etiquette.
