Learning Chinese Word

Dear friends, Here is the Chinese lesson I have just created today, it all about the basic phrase "I am sorry" with several variations: The first 3-character phrase is very basic, it's "I am sorry" in modern Chinese. I am sorry 對不起 and the second part of the sentence is "my fault" my fault 我的錯 Now we can make a little variation about the "I am sorry" phrase as following: I'm so sorry 我很對不起 the structure is: 我 (I) + 很 (very) + 對不起 (sorry) note: the 3-character word 對不起 (sorry) is an adjective in this sentence, not an independent 3-character phrase "I am sorry" any more. and the second part "my fault" becomes: It's all my fault 都是我的錯 the structure is: 都 (all) + 是 (is) + 我的 (my) + 錯 (fault) Now let's introduce another 2-character Chinese word about sorry, 抱歉 (pronounced bào-qiàn ) The "I am sorry" ...
