There is no word for “sorry” in Haoli. To express your apology to someone, you acknowledge that what you did was not good using the optative mood and negating the verb. The general structure is: I wish I had not [done] (some action) or I wish to never [do] (some action) in the future.<br> | |||
Examples: | |||
* I wish I had not spoken.''Ro juvanhpaeje an iane.'' | |||
* I wish to not steal in the future.''Ro romhēje an iane.'' | |||
