More about Bebakhshid

Bebakhshid is both excuse me and sorry. It means forgive me, and it works with anyone. Use it to get past someone, after a bump, or before a question such as Nafahmidam (I didn't understand) or Mishe dobareh begi? (could you say it again?). It is built with the fuller polite ending -id, where everyday speech says -in, and the course keeps the fuller form for this word and for Befarmaid. It is taught in Module 6, lesson 1, in the lesson called Excuse me?, which is the start of the module about asking someone to say it again.
