Woodrow F.	April 09, 2006 6:55 PM Those can possibly be the hardest words to say in any Language, if a person is sincere. The only way I know in Arabic is: ismah leh ( more like "Excuse Me") [ send green star] [ accepted]

Leiah O.	April 11, 2006 3:02 AM *Ani mitzta'eret* (female) *Ani mitzta'er* (male) or, more formally, I guess you could say this is more like I regret as in a phrase like "I'm sorry to hear bad news..." etc etc : *tzar li* [ send green star] [ accepted]
Leiah O.	April 11, 2006 3:09 AM Ani mitzta'eret - my computer froze! Words connected with the root letters "tz-'a-r" are connected with sorrow. There is another Hebrew way of saying sorry which is with the root letters "s-l-h" which is connected to forgiveness: Sliha This expresses a request for forgiveness - I'm sorry for something I did, but it's also used to mean "excuse me" or just plain "I'm sorry".

anonymous	Wanted to add other words that means the same thing August 10, 2006 5:31 PM Please forgive me is another way to say i'm sorry ,I think it has a more serious meaning when you've (personally )done somthing to hurt someones soul. [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]

anonymous	November 06, 2006 12:45 PM Lo siento is in spanish expresses the same as I am sorry saying forgive me is another thing and that is perdoname, or perdoneme this is to make clear the difference that other person in the topic claims is the same and it is not quite the same.

Boris T.	Bulgarian October 22, 2007 10:31 PM Bulgarian in Bulgarian "Съжалявам" pronounced "sazhialiavam". More formal way to say that is "Прощавайте" pronounced "proshtavaite" and the informal version is "Извинявай" - "izviniavay". P.S.: I am sorry but if anyone could help me that would be great. I want to know how to write and pronounce this in Japanese - "I am really sorry. I was supposed to be a 2006 gift, not 2007." [ send green star] [ accepted]
