من متاسفم

man mota'assefam

I am sorry

Expressing regret or an apology.

🌍

문화적 배경

When apologizing, it is common to place your right hand over your heart. This signals that the apology is coming from the heart and is not just a polite formality. In Dari, 'Mota'assef hastum' is used similarly, but 'Bakhshish mekhayum' is also very common for apologies. In business, an apology is often followed by an offer to make things right. It is not seen as a sign of weakness but as a sign of professional integrity.

💬

The Hand Gesture

Always try to put your hand on your chest when saying this to an elder; it shows deep respect.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

If you say it for every tiny thing, it loses its sincerity. Use 'Bebakhshid' for the small stuff.

Add 'Vaghean'

Adding 'Vaghean' (Really) makes the apology sound much more heartfelt in Persian.
