French Stories For All

Origine & Expressions - Franc France Français -

Picture this: you’re standing at the coffee machine and a colleague comes over. You don’t know him very well. You both say hello and then you can’t think of much to say. You mumble* something about the weather (if you are British this is a sure thing. We love to talk about the weather) and then… nothing. 

Your mind goes blank* and you stand awkwardly looking at the coffee, wondering why it is taking so long to make…

Or picture this: you’ve joined a meeting online and there are one or two colleagues already there. You’re waiting for others to join and you have to pass the time. But the same thing happens … you can’t think of anything interesting to say and there is awkward silence….

In these situations we need small talk.

1. 对不起 (duìbùqǐ) - This is the most common and general way to apologize in Chinese.
Example: 对不起，我没有注意到你在说话。 (I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were speaking.)
2. 不好意思 (bùhǎoyìsi) - This is a more casual way to say "I'm sorry" or "excuse me."
Example: 不好意思，我没有看见你。 (I'm sorry, I didn't see you.)
3. 我错了 (wǒ cuòle) - This phrase specifically admits that you have made a mistake.
Example: 我错了，我应该早点回家。 (I'm sorry, I should have come home earlier.)

Example: 抱歉，我没有听懂你在说什么。 (I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.)
