The word sorry is used all the time without people knowing the true meening, can you tell me the true meening?

There are multiple meanings for the word sorry,





Sorry;


- sympathy for others


- sorry for own actions


- feeling regret or penitence


- used as polite request e.g sorry? i didnt quite catch that.


- expaining something in a pitiful state e.g he looks a sorry sight.


- on account of misbehaviour





this is but just a few ways it can be used so you hear it all the time because it can be used to describe many things it has multiple meanings not one true meaning i hope this helps.The word sorry is used all the time without people knowing the true meening, can you tell me the true meening?
It's from from Old English ';s膩rig';, meaning sad.The word sorry is used all the time without people knowing the true meening, can you tell me the true meening?
Sorry means,... you regret the actions that you have just inflicted and want to apologise to who ever it is that was involved. It means that you genuinely don't want to do it again.
Sorry, can't help you.
Sorry means .. u recognise that you are in the wrong %26amp; apologise for your actions/words.


However, it means 'jack' if you dont also promise not to let it happen again.





A wise old boss once told me: Never say sorry followed by a 'but'! Coz it completely neutralises the word 'sorry'


i.e im sorry, but u said....


So just say sorry if u mean it %26amp; nothing when u dont!
feeling sorrow regret penitence mournful sad pity inspiring sorrow scorn ridicule pitiful :)
