How to say “Sorry, I didn't mean to” in Khmer

សុំទោស ខ្ញុំមិនចេតនាទេ
som tos khnhom min chetana te
Pronunciation (IPA): /som tooh kʰɲom mɨn ceːtɑnaː teː/
Word by word: sorry + I + not + intention + (negation particle)
💡 ចេតនា is intent. Making clear it was an accident matters more here than the apology itself.
