Hi Lein,

I was looking for the translations done and this one seems to be incorrect. Shouldn't it be "I am sorry (that) I couldn't give you an answer today"?

Since handyy is absent in these days, I have wanted to ask you that.

Dear Mesud,
Where is in source language "you" or is it so important ?

I think we should add 'you' to make the sentence clear. But my point is that after any prepositions ('for' here), you should use a noun or a noun phrase, not a clause. That is, it could be "I'm sorry for not being able to give you an answer today" or "I'm sorry for the fact that I couldn't give you an answer today" but as far as I know, these are not used in spoken language, so it should be "I'm sorry I couldn't give you an answer today".

Hi guys,

I think that "for" in the line means "since", "because".
