Let's go! I’m really sorry about what happened. Het spijt me echt wat er is gebeurd. I take responsibility for my side of the problem. Ik neem de verantwoordelijkheid voor mijn kant van het probleem. I want to resolve this with you. Ik wil dit samen met u oplossen. I just wanted to see if we can get on the same page about this. Ik wilde alleen maar kijken of we hierover op één lijn kunnen komen. Let’s take a minute to calm down together. Laten we even de tijd nemen om samen tot rust te komen.

Let’s sit down at the table and talk. Laten we aan tafel gaan zitten en praten. Can you help me to understand what the problem is, as you see it? Kunt u mij helpen begrijpen wat het probleem is, zoals u het ziet? Let me repeat back to you what I heard you say. Laat mij herhalen wat ik u hoorde zeggen. I just want to make sure I’m understanding you. Ik wil er zeker van zijn dat ik je begrijp. I think I understand where you’re coming from. Ik denk dat ik begrijp waar je vandaan komt.

Let’s start with what we agree on. Laten we beginnen met waar we het over eens zijn. I just wanted to clarify some things I didn’t understand. Ik wilde alleen een aantal dingen verduidelijken die ik niet begreep. I think we both feel the same way about this. Ik denk dat we hier allebei hetzelfde over denken. Maybe there’s a way to work this out so we can both get what we want. Misschien is er een manier om dit op te lossen, zodat we allebei kunnen krijgen wat we willen.

I agree with you about this, but not about that. Ik ben het hierover met je eens, maar niet daarover. Thank you for helping me to understand your point of view. Bedankt dat u mij helpt uw ​​standpunt te begrijpen. I’m sorry that you feel that way. Het spijt me dat je je zo voelt. Do you have a suggestion of what we can do differently going forward? Heeft u een suggestie wat we in de toekomst anders kunnen doen? I really value your friendship, and I don’t want this to come between us.

Ik waardeer je vriendschap enorm, en ik wil niet dat dit tussen ons komt.
