How do I say "I´m sorry too/aswell?

Question

I want to say sorry to my penpal for replying late because I had been busy.I don't know how to address it.

will "Lo siento así" make any sense in this context?

If you want think and reply in Spanish, it could be: "disculpa mi tardanza".... - Mariest, Nov 24, 2014

Answer 1

Hi, was your penpal late, too?

Then you can say "Lo siento tambien".

Otherwise, if only you were late, "Lo siento mucho" could be enough.

Right on, amiga! - Daniela2041, Nov 23, 2014

Answer 2

'Así' means 'so', but not in the sense 'I'm so sorry' (meaning 'very').

It means 'so' in the concluding sense: 'so (that is why) I am sorry..' (put 'así' in front!) or in the sense 'like so' (in this way).

If you say 'lo siento así', it sounds like you didn't finish your sentence: I'm sorry, so~...... so forgive me already, I apologised, damnit! - is a possible interpretation. or: I'm sorry, so~...... what now? :( are we still pen pals? etc. etc.

For 'I am sorry, too', consult sanlee's answer.
