Thread: apologies

How would one go about apologizing.

Depends...

Try Извините.

You can also use "простите."

That's what I say when I bump into old ladies on the metro.

You can say also прошу прощения,.... it's a right form too - you can begin a common phrase adressing to the stranger or if you really need to apologize.
And the most polite form is извините/простите, пожалуйста,....

thank you for your help. i will have to give those a try
