Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! I'm Alisha.
Welcome to Conversational Phrases!
We've found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you'll use in real conversations.
In this lesson, you'll learn conversational phrases to use when apologizing to someone. After watching this video, you'll be able to apologize and say what you're apologizing for.
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Geç kaldığım için üzgünüm.
Dert etme.
Once more with the English translation.
Geç kaldığım için üzgünüm.
“I'm sorry for being late.”
Dert etme.
“Don't worry about it.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "I'm sorry for [reason]."
The pattern is: [reason] için üzgünüm.
This Turkish sentence literally translates as "[reason] for sorry I am." But it means "I'm sorry for [reason].".
For example:
"I'm sorry for being late."
Geç kaldığım için üzgünüm., Geç kaldığım için üzgünüm.
Now, how do you respond that it's okay?
Dert etme.
"Don't worry about it."
Listen to it again: Dert etme., Dert etme.
This Turkish sentence translates as "Problem don't make." But it means "Don't worry about it."
