Literally, it means I feel but it is more of an idiom and is used to mean I'm sorry

It could be either depending on context.

That's why it is nice to have some context to really give an answer. wink

I have been told that Lo siento is used to express sympathy/empathy while "Disculpa me." would be used to express "Forgive me." As in "My fault." Does this sound right to the rest of y'all?
