Hi there,
In Portuguese, there are a few ways to say "sorry," depending on the context and level of formality:
Desculpa (informal) - Used in casual situations.
Example: "Desculpa, não quis te incomodar." (Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.)
Desculpe (formal) - Used in more formal situations or when addressing someone you don't know well.
Example: "Desculpe pelo atraso." (Sorry for being late.)
Sinto muito - Used to express sympathy or regret.
Example: "Sinto muito pela sua perda." (I'm sorry for your loss.)
Perdão - Used to ask for forgiveness.
Example: "Perdão, eu cometi um erro." (Forgive me, I made a mistake.)
These expressions can help you navigate various social situations in Portuguese. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. I'm here to help!
