You are correct. I too do not understand your question. I put “감사합니다” into Google translate. It provided ""Thankyou" as an English translation. . But, as above, I do not understand your message nor question. Would love to think that I helped. How can I help you? What is it that you need to move forward?

Perhaps you mean the way how it is pronounced? There are quite a bit of sound change rules in Korean. I also just learned it today too. One of these rules applies to this sentence 감사합니다. Whenever consonants ㅂ/ㅍ is before ㄴ/ㅁ, ㅂ/ㅍ will become pronounced as ㅁ. So, 감사합니다 actually pronouns 감싸함니다. Hope this helps!
