I think it's because of context. "Îmi" is about the speaker. I always equate "Îmi pare rău" to the English slang "My bad," because it's something the speaker is personally sorry or responsible for. Maybe I am wrong?
according to my Romanian friend(s) 'scuze' is less formal than 'îmi pare rău' and it would be weird to use it when it's not actually 'My Bad' however, if your dog died for example i would say 'îmi pare râu' as in 'I'm sorry' and 'condoleanțe' (if I'm spelling that right) is even more formal and specifically 'my condolences' 'mea culpa' is also used, apparently.
yes-one would say 'my fault', I suppose tho' I'd equally employ mea culpa even in English.
Why is polite form refused? I wrote :" Scuze, nu sunteți un copil." I seems to be the right form! I do not understand!
"You do not" can be polite form. I don't understand why polite form is refused. "Nu sunteți" should be correct. You can warn and say that it is not the waited expression but not supress a heart...!
