How to apologize in Polish. "I’m sorry" in Polish.

In my last post you have learned, that “przepraszam” is a Polish word used instead of two English expressions: “Excuse me” and “I’m sorry”.

 Recently I provided you with some typical examples of using an expression “przepraszam” in situations when we should translate it as the English “Excuse me”. 

Today it’s time to get to know a bit more about using the Polish verb “przepraszam” when we want to say: “I’m sorry”, “I’m really sorry” or even “Forgive me!”.

What to say in Polish when you step on someone’s foot or you accidentally push someone? 

How to apologize in Polish when you accidentally spill your coffee or wine all over someone’s shirt or when you are late for a meeting?

How to say "Exuse me" & "I'm sorry" in Polish.

Przepraszam is a magic word in the Polish language, because it's a very polite and very useful one. You can use it instead of an English expression "Excuse me", but also instead of English "I'm sorry". The meaning depends on the situation. Let's see some examples: 

You should say "Przepraszam", when you are going to interrupt someone and ask about something, for example when you are asking someone to show you the way.

When you are asking an unknown woman, say - "Przepraszam panią" (Excuse me, Madam). When you are asking an unknown man – you should say "Przepraszam pana" (Excuse me, Sir).When you are talking to a child or a friend you can use an informal expression 

How to say in Polish: "Please" & "Here you are"?

"Proszę" is a very important Polish word and a useful one. We can use it in many situations. Sometimes “proszę“ means in Polish  “please”, sometimes- “here you are”, sometimes - “come in!”. You should use the word “proszę“ always when you want to show, that you are a polite person.

Don’t worry about the pronunciation of a typical polish nasal vowel “ę” at the end of the word “proszę“because in this word it sounds just like a simple Polish “e” (you can hear it in a recording inserted at the end of this post).  There is a rule, which says that “ę” at the end of Polish verbs sounds always so. It doesn’t mean that Poles never pronounce nasal “ę”, but you don’t need to bother with that in words like “proszę“ . Some Poles try to pronounce “proszę“ with a noticeable nasal “ę” in the end, but the most famous Polish linguists just laugh at them.
