Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! I'm Alisha.
Welcome to Conversational Phrases!
We've found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you'll use in real conversations.
In this lesson, you'll learn conversational phrases to use when apologizing to someone. After watching this video, you'll be able to apologize and say what you're apologizing for.
Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
Îmi pare rău că am întârziat.
Nu-ți fă griji.
Once more with the English translation.
Îmi pare rău că am întârziat.
“I'm sorry for being late.”
Nu-ți fă griji.
“Don't worry about it.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say "I'm sorry for [reason]."
The pattern is: Îmi pare rău că [reason].
This Romanian sentence literally translates as "I'm sorry that [reason]." But it means "I'm sorry for [reason].".
For example:
"I'm sorry for being late."
Îmi pare rău că am întârziat., Îmi pare rău că am întârziat.
Now, how do you respond that it's okay?
Nu-ți fă griji.
"Don't worry about it."
Listen to it again: Nu-ți fă griji., Nu-ți fă griji.
This Romanian sentence translates as "Don't make worries." But it means "Don't worry about it."
