뜻
Polite way to apologize or get attention.
문화적 배경
Russians value privacy. 'Извините' is the polite way to break that privacy. Similar usage to Russia, but 'Вибачте' is the Ukrainian equivalent. Russian is widely spoken, so 'Извините' is perfectly understood and used. Russian is a lingua franca. 'Извините' is used in all formal public interactions.
The 'те' rule
Always look for the '-те' ending when talking to strangers. It's the key to being polite.
Don't over-apologize
Russians don't say 'sorry' for everything. Use it only when you actually interrupt or bump into someone.
