Hi Tiraj, Thank you for answering my question immediately!! I really needed the help last night.

Sorry – kanagatyi – කණගාටුයි Really – bohoma - බොහොම I - mama - මම For me – mata – මට So theoretically, it should be I’m really sorry – mata bohoma kanagatuyi – මට බොහොම කණගාටුයි But hold on.... Life is not that sweet... ^_^. In Sinhala, while speaking one doesn't say “I’m really sorry” You can use this sentence “I’m really sorry” - “mata bohoma kanagatuyi” in a situation where if you want to express your sympathy towards someone … As in – Im really sorry (for You). In Sinhala when one wants to say sorry for a mistake one has done , What they say is “I request your pardon” When we translate it to English back word by word it becomes “As for me, be forgiving” So As for me – mata – මට Pardon – sama – සමා Be - venna – වෙන්න So the correct way to ask for forgiveness/saying sorry is: I request your pardon - Mata sama venna - මට සමා වෙන්න mata - මට - can me omitted as in Japanese "vathashi" and life becomes very sweet indeed. Just use "sama venna" in any situation when you want to say sorry. ^_^
