Spanish for your holiday ยท Chapter 1: Greetings and first words

Excuse me

To the next lesson

The sixth word: disculpe โ€“ excuse me.

You are a guest at a sports-themed party where everybody brings something from their sport: tennis rackets, a basketball, whatever it may be. You are holding a discus (dis). It drops, rolls over to another person and hits them on the leg (culpe) โ€“ so of course you have to apologise.
