Hello ,

Do something extremely bad and you will feel or be more sorry ;)

No you can't say :

我真的对不起 nor
我非常对不起

You can say without using "我"

真的很对不起 or
很对不起

In reality, when we say that 'I am sorry' in Chinese, generally we won't say 'I am' as it is in English, especially in spoken Chinese. Notice: I said 'generally', most of the time, not 'abosolutely'. This is not about grammar, it's just how we use language in daily life. So you could say:

实在是对不起。 honestly, sincerely
真的是对不起。 really
真的是不好意思。
真的是非常抱歉。
Among them,"抱歉"is the most polite and cultivated expression.
e.g.我迟到了,真的是不好意思!

As for some formal situations like presentations, writings etc, we would say: I feel very sorry about...对于....我感到十分歉意/抱歉.

Yes,you are right,well done.

But you can say"我真的对不起你 or 非常对不起 or even 我太对不起你了",it could be better.

You have a good feeling of language indeed.Just keep on more practice.

過意不去
心中不安,感到抱歉。
儒林外史˙第一回:「王冕見此光景,過意不去,嘆了一口氣。」

更強烈的說法如下

我深感抱歉
我感到萬分抱歉
我內疚不已
我感到歉疚難安
我歉疚至極
我著實負疚難安

当你要表达“so sorry !”in chinese ,you should say :

1.非常抱歉!
2.真是太对不起了!
3.实在是太对不起了,我不是故意的。

日常生活中我们不加主语“我”在前面。

在很正式的场合,可以说“我非常非常的抱歉。”

The following phrases are more formal。

深表歉意,实在是太抱歉了

歉意 is noun, 抱歉 is verb

You can say: 我对此深表歉意。
