Word Type

expression

Explanation

Sue me, Ma Sen! (すみません), you yell at Ma Sen, before quickly adding "Excuse me…I'm sorry, so sorry!" You shouldn't have shouted at Ma Sen like that. You hope she won’t actually sue you. You can use すみません both to apologize and to get someone’s attention. This expression is really common in Japan, and dropping it in wherever you can will help you blend right in!
