뜻
Expressing deep regret for an action.
문화적 배경
In Bangladesh, 'Khub dukkhito' is widely used in formal media and corporate sectors. However, in religious or very traditional contexts, 'Kkhoma' (forgiveness) is often invoked alongside it. In Kolkata, the English word 'Sorry' has become so integrated that 'Khub dukkhito' can sometimes sound 'too formal' for anything other than professional or serious personal matters. Bengali professional culture is high-context. A simple apology is often followed by a brief explanation to show that the mistake wasn't due to negligence. When apologizing to an elder, it is common to use the 'Apni' (formal you) form and avoid direct eye contact as a sign of 'Lojja' (modesty/shame).
The 'Jonno' Rule
Always put the reason before 'jonno' (for) when using this phrase. Example: [Reason] + jonno + khub dukkhito.
Avoid 'Dukkho'
Never say 'Ami khub dukkho'. It's the most common beginner mistake. Always add the '-ito'.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, 'Dukkhito' on its own is a perfectly valid and polite way to say 'Sorry'. Adding 'Khub' just makes it more sincere.
Yes, 'Sorry' is very common in casual speech. However, use 'Khub dukkhito' for elders, teachers, or formal writing.
'Dukkhito' is 'I am sorry' (a state). 'Maaf korben' is 'Forgive me' (an action). 'Maaf korben' is also used for 'Excuse me'.
In that case, don't use 'dukkhito'. Say 'Apnar jonno amar khub dukkho hocche' (I am feeling very sad for you).
It is 'Dukkhito' (দুঃখিত). The 'visarga' (ঃ) or the 'kh' sound is important for correct spelling and pronunciation.
You can, but it might sound a bit formal or even sarcastic if the mistake is very small.
You can say 'Thik ache' (It's okay), 'Oshubidha nei' (No problem), or 'Kichu mone korben na' (Don't mind it).
Yes, 'Khub' is the most common intensifier in Bengali, similar to 'very' or 'really'.
Rarely in traditional songs (which use 'dukkho'), but very common in modern pop songs and movie dialogues.
Use 'Ami kkhoma prarthona korchi' (I am praying for/requesting forgiveness).
