Significado
A more formal and respectful way to express gratitude.
Contexto cultural
Gratitude is often accompanied by a slight bow of the head or upper body. In formal business meetings, '감사합니다' is often preferred over '고맙습니다'. It is standard to thank service workers for their labor. Always use formal language with people older than you, even if you know them.
Nasalization Rule
When 'ㅂ' is followed by '스', it sounds like 'm'. So '고맙습니다' sounds like '고맙스니다'.
Bowing
A slight nod or bow makes your '고맙습니다' sound much more sincere.
