How can I express embarrassment?
hello, perhaps this is a silly question but how can i express that a situation or an action is "embarrassing" in japanese language?
I know that 恥ずかしい ( hazukashii ) means "embarrassed / ashamed" but I'm not sure about how to conjugate it.
For example: It's embarrassing to say that there are a lot of things I still don't know about the japanese language.
Thanks and I apologize for my poor command of english; I'm learning these two languages for the time being.

Another way you can say it using 恥ずかしい
恥ずかしいことに、いまだに日本語に関してたくさん分からないことがあります。

You can also describe the feeling with word「気恥ずかしい」or「気まずい」,or the phrase「ばつが悪い」。

I think you can express this kind of feeling with the word 「気詰まり」.
For example,I‘ll translate your sentence like:いまだに日本語にいろいろ詳しくないところがあると言い出すのは気詰まりです。

¡Buena pregunta! Normalmente usamos はずかしい, sonaría muy natural.
