Osewaninaru

Today's lesson is going to be a quick one on the word:-

Osewaninaru　－　お世話になる　－　おせわになる

There is actually no real English translation for this word. In other words there is nothing like it. It literally means 'You've taken care of me.' But I guess it translates better has 'Thank you for all your trouble' or 'Thank you for your hospitality.'
