For something a bit more serious, you should say 對唔住 deoi3 m4 zyu6

“Sorry”

對唔住 deoi3 m4 zyu6

[zoomsounds_player songname=”對唔住 deoi3 m4 zyu6 – Sorry” config=”sample–skin-wave-with-multisharer-button-and-embed” type=”detect” source=”https://thefluentlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/對唔住.m4a” autoplay=”off” loop=”off” play_in_footer_player=”default” enable_download_button=”off” enable_downloads_counter=”off” download_custom_link_enable=”off” open_in_ultibox=”off”]


Worst case scenario, you should add 好 deoi3, which means “very”, which is 好對唔住 hou2 deoi3 m4 zyu6

“Very sorry”
