죄송합니다. [joe-song-hap-mi-da]
Do you remember how to say "Thank you" in Korean?
It is 감사합니다. [gam-sa-ham-ni-da]
If you also remember that 감사합니다 is basically 감사 ("appreciation" or "thankfulness") plus 합 니다 ("I do"), you can assume that 죄송합니다 is also 죄송 plus 합니다.
죄송 [joe-song] means "apology", "being sorry" or "feeling ashamed", and 합니다 [hap-ni- da] means "I do", so 죄송합니다 [joe-song-hap-ni-da] means "I am sorry." or "I apologize."
저기요. [jeo-gi-yo]
In English, you can use the expression "Excuse me." in all of the following situations.
1) when you are passing through a crowd of people
2) when you are leaving the room for a second
3) when you want to get someone's attention and talk to them or let them know something 4) when you want to call the waiter in a restaurant or a cafe to order something
저기요 [jeo-gi-yo] is an expression that can be translated to "Excuse me" but this Korean expression, 저기요 is ONLY used for situation number 3 and 4 above.
