【御馳走様 and つまらないものですが】

As to Japanese phrase 『御馳走様』which we say after a meal,『Thank you for the delicious dinner』is all right.🍖

Though the phrase isn't also an English conventional expression at all,so we have to change its way of saying such as breakfast or dinner.🍞

As for an answer 『お粗末様』to 『Thank you for the delicious dinner』,『You are（ quite) welcome』is all right.😃

If we want to emphasize a feeling of modesty,there is a way of saying like 『Well,it was no banquet.』,though it hasn't been adopted so much😚.

When sending a present to others,we usually adopt of saying,『つまらないものですが』it's a unique Japanese way.🎁

When sending the present to others,even we Japanese will be looking for the present which will be pleased with the others,taking pains,so we'll never think it's trivial at all.😉

When sending a presents to our children,we never say they are trivial.Let's change the way of idea about-face 180度.😃

We should say with confidence like next.『I found something really nice for you』👍
