Hi everyone! I'm Alisha. |
Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
We've found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you'll use in real conversations. |
In this lesson, you'll learn conversational phrases to use when apologizing to someone. After watching this video, you'll be able to apologize and say what you're apologizing for. |
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases! |
Listen to the dialogue. |
늦어서 죄송해요. (Neujeoseo joesonghaeyo.) |
괜찮아요. (Gwaenchannayo.) |
Once more with the English translation. |
늦어서 죄송해요. (Neujeoseo joesonghaeyo.) |
“I'm sorry for being late.” |
괜찮아요. (Gwaenchannayo.) |
“Don't worry about it.” |
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "I'm sorry for [reason]." |
The pattern is: |
[reason] 죄송해요. ([reason] joesonghaeyo.) |
This Korean sentence literally translates as "[reason] Very sorry." But it means "I'm sorry for [reason].". |
For example: |
"I'm sorry for being late." |
늦어서 죄송해요., 늦어서 죄송해요. (Neujeoseo joesonghaeyo., Neujeoseo joesonghaeyo.) |
Now, how do you respond that it's okay? |
괜찮아요. (Gwaenchannayo.) |
"Don't worry about it." |
Listen to it again: |
괜찮아요., 괜찮아요. (Gwaenchannayo., Gwaenchannayo.) |
This Korean sentence translates as "Alright." But it means "Don't worry about it." |
