| Introduction |
| Eric: Welcome to 3-Minute Turkish Season 1, Lesson 5 - Making Apologies. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to apologize and say that you didn't do it on purpose or that you are sorry in Turkish. |
| Body |
| Eric: Here's the informal way to say 'Excuse me.' in Turkish. |
| Icten: [Normal] Pardon. |
| Eric: This expression is only one word meaning 'Excuse me' |
| Icten: [Normal] Pardon [Slow] Pardon |
| Eric: Listen again to the informal word meaning 'Excuse me.' |
| Icten: [Slow] Pardon. [Normal] Pardon. |
| Eric: Ok, now let’s take a look at the formal way to say 'Excuse me.' |
| Icten: [Normal] Affedersiniz. |
| Eric: This expression is also only one word meaning 'Excuse me' |
| Icten: [Normal] Afedersiniz [Slow] Afedersiniz |
| Eric: Listen again to the formal word meaning 'Excuse me.' |
| Icten: [Slow] Afedersiniz. [Normal] Afedersiniz. |
| Eric: Next up is the formal way to say 'I didn't mean it.' |
| Icten: [Normal] Bilerek yapmadım. |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'On purpose' |
| Icten: [Normal] Bilerek [Slow] Bilerek |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'I didn't do it' |
| Icten: [Normal] yapmadım [Slow] yapmadım |
| Eric: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'I didn't mean it.' |

| Eric: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'I'm sorry.' |
| Icten: [Slow] Özür dilerim. [Normal] Özür dilerim. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Icten: Please remember that in Turkey if you accidentally bump into someone, we don’t say “I am sorry,” özür dilerim; instead we say afedersiniz, "excuse me" or “pardon, forgive me." |

HideHi Listeners! Let's practice in the comments!
Jacek,
In daily language, people tend to use "afedersiniz" but the proper one is "affedersiniz" because the verb is actually "affetmek"...

In ABTfED Lesson 1 I found the spelling "Afedersiniz". Both are correct?
Hi Abra
