do you agree that sorry seems to be the hardest word?

Answer 1

It can certainly stick in your throat. At times, even when I WANT to apologise, and I even know I should, I can find it very hard.

Answer 2

Depends on the personality of the person, especially if you live in the western world. However, it is the most golden word ever and sometimes you get to say it with words without actually saying it. But to be truthful, saying sorry is the best thing that a person can hear and also you will be surprised how it would change the entire atmosphere when you do actually say it....just ask couples who make up.

Answer 3

In my case it is very true. For years I found it very hard to say sorry, even if I knew I was wrong and it would resolve matters or simply be the right thing to do. Sorry seems to be a hard word, for as soon as you say it, you admit to others that you are wrong and being wrong is not easy for everybody to admit. If you can perfect the 'art' of saying sorry - your life will become so much easier and you yourself will learn to become more forgiving...

Answer 4

have to disagree there. in some cultures it is one of the most commonest:

Using a discourse completion test and a multiple choice test, this study detected cultural differences in the appreciation strategies of native German and Japanese speakers; the German speakers predominantly used thanking expressions in almost all situations, whereas the Japanese speakers used both thanking and apologetic expressions in the same situations. For the German learners of Japanese, while their discourse completion test data identified some pragmatic transfer, they used apologetic expressions more frequently than did the native Japanese on the whole as a result of hypercorrection. Furthermore, the effects of learning contexts, length of residence, and situational variables were also investigated. The learners of Japanese as a foreign language presented clearer evidence of pragmatic transfer than did those learning Japanese as a second language. The study also revealed the Japanese native speakers' great sensitivity to the situational variables, whereas these variables barely affected the strategy selections of the German native speakers and the learners of Japanese as a foreign language.

Answer 5

only when you say it the right way, and that's only because of the pride that has to get coughed up anyway....saying you're sorry means that you acknowledge what you did was wrong, and you will try your hardest not to do it again

Answer 6

It damn sure is for my husband. We have been togethter for 12 years, and he has only told me "sorry" 3 times that we have been together.
I am always the one apologizing for something I didnt do!!

Answer 7

I think that its actually a very useful word because if you say it like you mean it you'd be surprised by what you can get away with.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Not harder than saying "I love you" especially since I never mean it anyway.
