Easy Japanese 5 "I'm sorry"

Japanese individuals are well-known for not revealing or hiding his/her true emotion and intension. So if you happen to offend them and apologise, they might not truly forgive you even if they say "No problem". However, if you can say "I'm sorry" in Japanese, they will be touched to pardon you.
