Le ruego me disculpe
Hello everyone! I saw in a dictionary that "Please accept my apologies" is translated as "Le ruego me disculpe". I tried to understand the structure of this sentence but it is beyond me. The verb disculpar is in the subjunctive mood, right? Then why is there no que in the sentence. A few days ago, in some answers to a question about the subjunctive, someone said the subjunctive is used when the two subjects are different. In this case, they are different, right? Can't we say "Le ruego que me disculpe"? Is this correct or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance. ![]()

Yeah, in the dictionary entry for rogar, I see other examples in which the que is in parenthesis.
Le ruego (que) me perdone (I beg your pardon).
I guess, at times, one can leave out the que...maybe it is common to do so in some phrases.
That's me guessing, of course.
Le ( you formal) reugo (i beg from rogar) que (that) me (me) disculpe( you forgive subjunctive because i dont know if you will forgive) disculpe is also formal command for you
My understanding of the subjunctive is limited, but I believe it is used here because of the doubt expressed by "ruego". "Le ruego que me disculpe" makes sense to me. I would imagine a native speaker would have no problem understanding it. I wonder if it would sound normal?
Corrections are appreciated.
