Episode description
The Art of Apologizing: Sorry, Excuse Me, Pardon?!
Forgiving is for giving. But how do different languages handle apologies? From sorry and pardon to désolé and lo siento, I break down the fascinating origins of how we say "I'm sorry" across English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese.
We’ll explore the history of these words, their deeper meanings, and some absurd examples—because let’s be honest, some apologies need more than just words.
