There are many ways to say “I am sorry” in French:<\/p>\n

The quickest way would be “pardon<\/em>” (“sorry”), “pardonnez-moi<\/em>” (“forgive me”), or “je suis d\u00e9sol<\/a>\u00e9<\/a><\/em><\/em>” (“I am sorry.”)<\/p>\n

But you can also say “je vous demande pardon<\/em>” (“I apologize”), “je vous pr\u00e9sente mes excuses<\/em>“, “Je vous prie de m’excuser<\/em>” (“I beg your pardon”), or in an even more formal way, “je vous prie de bien vouloir m’excuser<\/em>“, or “veuillez accepter mes excuses.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

“L’erreur est humaine;<\/em>\u00a0le pardon, divin<\/em>”\u00a0(“To err is human, to forgive divine”), says the French maxim today, borrowing it from the famous English poet Alexander Pope, who himself had quite a few reasons to be “pardonn\u00e9<\/em><\/em>”\u00a0(forgiven), considering the irreverently “satirical” aspect of his\u00a0\u0153uvre litt\u00e9raire\u00a0<\/em>(literary work.)<\/p>\n
