Hi, guys!

Today, I’ll let you know how to say “I’m sorry.” in Korean.

I think “I’m sorry.” is a common expression all around the world like “Thank you.”, so when you forget how to say “I’m sorry.” in Korean, you can just say ‘I’m sorry.’
However, Let’s try to speak in Korean because we are here to study Korean.

Then, Let’s get started.

1. 죄송합니다. : joesonghapnida
   

   This expression is typical and polite when you want to say “I’m sorry.” to someone.

2. 미안합니다. : mianhapnida
   

   This is more casual than ‘죄송합니다.’
   It’s not easy to tell between 죄송합니다 and 미안합니다, but I think 죄송합니다 is politer than 미안합니다.

3. 미안해. : mianhae
   

   This is a very casual expression.
   When the one is a close person with you like friends or children, You can just say 미안해.
   There is one thing you should remember. An expression 죄송해 doesn’t exist because ‘죄송’ is only for a polite expression and ‘해’ is an casual expression, so you can’t use it together.

4. 정말 죄송합니다. : jeongmal joesonghapnida
   

   If you fell very sorry to someone, Add ‘정말’ to the first part of the sentence.
   For example, “정말 죄송합니다.”

I hope this post is helpful for you.

in Korean,

안녕하세요.

오늘은 한국어로 “I’m sorry.”를 알려드릴게요.

1. 죄송합니다.
   영어로 “I’m sorry.”
   누군가에게 미안하다 라고 말하고 싶을 때 사용하는 기본적이고 예의있는 표현입니다.
2. 미안합니다.
   이 표현은 ‘죄송합니다.’ 대신 사용할 수 있어요.
   ‘죄송합니다.’와 ‘미안합니다.’를 구분하기는 쉽지 않겠지만, ‘죄송합니다’가 ‘미안합니다.’보다 더 공손한 표현입니다.
3.  미안해.
   이 표현은 캐주얼한 인사말인데요
   친한 친구나 어린이들에게 사용하시면 되요.
   하나 기억해둘게 있는데요. 한국어에 ‘죄송해’라는 표현은 없습니다. 왜냐하면, ‘죄송’은 공손한 표현이고 ‘해’는 반말이기 때문에 함께 사용할 수 없어요.
4. 정말 죄송합니다.
   누군가에세 많이 죄송하다고 느끼면, 문장의 맨 앞에 ‘정말’을 붙이세요.
   예들들어, “정말 죄송합니다.”
