In this lesson, you will learn how to apologize, and how to respond to apologies. There are several ways to apologize, with different functions.
Apology | Function | Example |
---|---|---|
Affedersiniz. | To get someone's attention | You want to pass someone in the bus. You want to ask someone a question. |
Pardon. | ||
Kusura bakma(yın). | After an unintented mistake | You stepped on someone's foot |
Özür dilerim. | After acting badly | You lied to someone. |
Even though there are two f's in affedersiniz, you pronounce it as if there is only one. (Don't mind the computerized pronunciation, she is still learning.)
