Meaning
«I'm sorry to» é uma expressão em inglês usada para expressar arrependimento ou desculpas por algo que você está prestes a dizer ou fazer. É frequentemente utilizada para introduzir uma mensagem que pode ser desagradável ou decepcionante para a outra pessoa. A expressão pode ser seguida por um verbo no infinitivo, como em «I'm sorry to say» ou «I'm sorry to hear».
Por exemplo, quando alguém diz «I'm sorry to inform you that the meeting has been canceled», a pessoa está se desculpando por ter que dar uma notícia ruim, que neste caso é o cancelamento de uma reunião.
Em outro contexto, se alguém disser «I'm sorry to bother you, but could you help me with this?», está pedindo desculpas antecipadamente por interromper a outra pessoa, mostrando assim cortesia e consideração.
Usar «I'm sorry to» ajuda a suavizar a mensagem e demonstra empatia e respeito pelos sentimentos de quem está ouvindo. É uma forma eficaz de manter a comunicação educada e respeitosa.
