Asking forgiveness and pardon

3:46

walking

3:46

along the street, oh, I beg your pardon.

3:48

That was my fault. I wasn't looking

3:50

where I was going. Okay? Or if you uh

3:53

walk into a room and you open the door

3:55

and there's a lady or older gentleman

3:58

trying to get out of the door, you might

3:59

step back and say, "I beg your pardon.

4:01

Please come through first." Okay? So

4:03

you're using it in that way to apologize

4:05

for your manners or on a bus you want to

4:08

offer your seat to a lady. I beg your

4:10

pardon. Please sit here. Yeah, I can

4:12

stand. Okay. So different ways, more

4:14

formal ways to to say it. Um, as you

4:17

said earlier on, we can just say my

4:19

fault. Put your hands up. My fault.

4:21

Yeah. So it's a a much more modern and

4:23

informal way to say it. And something

4:26

really quite informal. And I've never

4:28

ever used this, but I I see that a lot

4:31

of people do. My bad. Yeah. Meaning it's

4:34

my fault. My mistake. My bad. So,

4:37

something you've done, you forgot to uh

4:40

put the camera into the bag. So, when

4:42

you get to the the picnic and you say,

4:43

"Okay, let's take a few photographs."

4:45

Oops. I didn't put the camera in the

4:47

bag. My bad. Yeah. Something you're

4:50

apologizing for. Or simply, I'm to

4:53

blame. Yeah. We have to look for

4:54

somebody. Somebody has to take the blame

4:57

when something goes wrong. Well, look,

4:58

I'm to blame for that. It was my fault.

5:01

really sorry.
