Oh, and just in case you're confusing "entschuldigung" with "entschuldigen" - they're two different words. The former is a noun; by itself it's equivalent to "excuse me" in informal situations. The latter is pronounced the way you spelt out in your post, with a "gehn" on the end.
- The most basic way to say sorry in French is Je suis désolé, You can use it the same way you'd use “I'm sorry” in English.
- If you want to apologize to a friend, loved one, or young person in general, you can just say “Désolé(e)” .
It depends on the context. Most generally, "I'm sorry" is "lo siento," literally meaning "I feel it." However, this is really used to communicate apology and remorse. If you bump into someone, for example, it may be more fitting to say "Perdón." "Perdóname" means "forgive me" or "excuse me."
"I am sorry" in German. So "Entschuldigung" is "Sorry" and "Es tut mir leid" is "Sorry" or "I am sorry".
For formal ones, use Извините (Izvinite)—“Sorry” and Простите (Prostite)—“Sorry.” For informal ones, use Извини (Izvini)—“Sorry” and Прости (Prosti)—“Sorry.” Once you feel comfortable using these common Russian “Sorry” words, choose some other apologies and learn them to expand your vocabulary and impress your Russian
“Was machen Sie” It is a Formel way to ask someone “What are you doing”. “Was machst du” It is a Informel way to ask someone “What are you doing”.
National / mainly used expression(s)
- Entschuldigung! Excuse me.
- Es tut mir leid. sorry.
- Entschuldigen Sie. excuse me.
- Verzeihung. forgiveness.
You can make it more formal by saying "gomen-nasai" ?????? or more friendly with "gomen-ne" ????. "Warui warui" ???? or "my bad" is also a very casual way to say sorry. "Sumimasen" ?????, which can be translated as "excuse me", also works as an apology depending on how it is used.
If you want to say “What is your name?” in German, you would either say, “Wie heißen sie?” (formal) or “Wie heißt du?” (informal).
Was is the word to say "What" in German. As you can see, in German, "What" is mainly translated as was. If you want to sound even more formal, you can use "Was machen Sie?" with the formal "you", Sie. You can use it if you are talking to an older person or your boss.
