How can I fully understand the literal meaning of common phrases like 有り難う御座います？
Besides knowing the meaning of phrases like those in real life and just remembering them as a whole, I'm really interested in understanding what it means literally and what each part separately mean and how it forms a phrase or sentence. Are there resources that have reliable explanations on those?
I searched Internet and common dictionaries for this particular example, so far, the most useful one is https://hinative.com/questions/22487201, but as there are multiple answers, which have somewhat different explanations and details, I still don't fully know the answer.
