Hi dramati

"Excusez-moi" normally should be translated by "Excuse me"

"I want to apologise" would have been "Je veux m'excuser"

Having said this, the meaning is conveyed, its just not completely accurate.

The same thing is about German: Entschuldigung is normally translated in "excuse me" or "I'm sorry"..
but it's a short time I'm studying german, so consider more what Tantine said..

"Excuse me, I'm sorry" would be better.

Excuse-me, I'm disconsolate.

"désolé" is stronger than just "being sorry".
"disconsolate" would be more accurate.

Hi Lilian

In French "désolé" means "sorry", "disconsolate" would be much too strong here, and is translated into French par "inconsolable".

I agree with Kafetzou on this one, its "Excuse me, I'm sorry"

Technically, it should be "Excuse me," or maybe even "Forgive me." But I think that the way it is conveys the basic meaning.

On a second thought I have to agree with Tantine and Kafetzou. disconsolate sounds too much strong here.

Excuse-me, I'm sorry. is the best one.

Sorry for interferring
