Work and words

Headed to work like usual and then went home. The word for today is (お疲れ様) said "o-tsu-kare-sama" and is translated as thank you for your hard work or good work. People often ask me how to say this in English but we don't really have a phrase like it that is used in the same way in English. Most commonly it's heard when going home after work or sometimes used as a greeting at the beginning of the day as well. You can hear it in this commercial for this energy drink. You can hear the phrase about 18 seconds in.
