\n

Maybe Elton John was on to
\nsomething when he sang: \u201c\u2026sorry seems to be the hardest word.\u201d  Indeed,
\nit\u2019s not always easy to apologize for a mistake we\u2019ve made and for many
\nreasons. First, we don\u2019t want others (or ourselves, really) to see us as \u201cthe
\nbad guy\u201d that hurt somebody. Second, we\u2019re afraid that once we accept
\nresponsibility for one mistake, it opens up Pandora\u2019s box of our mistakes.
\nFinally, our pride often gets in the way of our making sincere apology. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes we don\u2019t even
\nreally apologize; rather, we make excuses.  For example, we say things
\nlike \u201cYou\u2019re blowing this out of proportion\u201d or  “You always take
\nthings so personally.”  These are not true apologies, however. In fact,
\nthey are called \u201cnon-apologies\u201d.  <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

A true apology is when you
\nfirst take responsibility for your mistake and admit you hurt someone. Then,
\nconfirm you understand the other person\u2019s feelings and show true remorse.
\nFinally, be clear about your desire to make amends and ask how you can fix any
\nissues it caused in your relationship.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, that is just a
\ntemplate as there is every mistake might require different ways of saying
\nsorry. And that\u2019s the subject of today\u2019s post \u2013 the many ways to
\napologize. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

However,  you came
\nhere to learn about Arabic and not about psychology, right? So that means today
\nyou\u2019ll learn a variety of ways to say sorry in
\nArabic<\/span>. So, Yalla<\/i>! Let\u2019s get started and see that, at least in
\nArabic, sorry really doesn\u2019t have to be the hardest word.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is, saying
\n\u201csorry\u201d in Arabic really isn\u2019t hard at all. In fact, it\u2019s \u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0622\u0633\u0641<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> \/\u2018anaa asif<\/i>\/. What\u2019s more, you could also say \u201cI\u2019m
\nsorry,\u201d by adding the pronoun:<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u0623\u0646\u0627 \u0622\u0633\u0650\u0641<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Other Words and Phrases
\nfor Apologizing<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Still, there are times when a simple sorry won\u2019t do. (Nor
\nwill even a \u201c\u0627\u0646\u0627 \u062c\u062f\u0627 \u0627\u0633\u0641<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d \/\u2019anaa jiddan
\naasif\/<\/i> or \u201cI am very sorry\u201d in Arabic<\/span>.)
\nThat\u2019s when you\u2019ll need to bring out more advanced ways in Arabic to apologize.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
