"Λυπάμαι!"

Translation: Sorry!

[zodney]

I have also heard something like 'sygnomi' as "sorry". Is one preferred over the other? Formal use or anything like that?

Excuse me is "Συγγνώμη" p.e: excuse me, where is the toilet? -συγγνώμη, που είναι η τουαλέτα;. I'm sorry is λυπάμαι (a verb that means I am sad): I'm sorry for what happened-λυπάμαι για ό,τι έγινε. (!) I am sorry for your loss (when someone passed away) is συλλυπητήρια (meaning co-sadness literally, I am sad too). To beg forgiveness you also use συγγνώμη: sorry, I didn't mean to do it-συγγνώμη, δεν το ήθελα.

Recording doesn't sound right to me.

Are you using the app or the web version? What sounds wrong to you?

[Cmurph20]

Sounds to me like she's putting the accent on the first syllable.

Could also mean I mourn or I am sorrowful

[Sophia_dr123]

"I am sorrowful" is "είμαι λυπημένος". "Λυπάμαι" is "i'm sorry" (like "sorry for your loss", or "i'm sorry for hurting you")

Would I be correct in thinking that λυπαμαι is more like "I'm sorry / my apologies" and συγνώμη is more like "excuse me / pardon me"?

There is a mistake with the voice recording. Even though it is written correctly The voice recording is putting the stress over the Λύ.

Yes, thanks for the information. We'll have to disable the audio.

The audio sounds more like "ή υπάμαι" (two separate words)

Sounds like Lipoma but well...
Greek Doctor Lee: "I think it's a Λυπάμαι"

[DerLutz48]

I hear ill-pama, is that correct?
