Sounds different than it looks

Letters change sound next to each other. Read it as 수고하셔씀니다.

Looks like셨습but say셔씀

The ㅆ final is blocked (t-like) and makes the next ㅅ tense.

Looks like습니다but say씀니다

The final ㅂ before ㄴ turns into ㅁ, so -ㅂ니다 always sounds like -ㅁ니다.

Tip: 셔 is 'syeo', close to 'sho'.
