Which meaning of 'sorry' do you mean? The one that expresses sorrow/pity or the one that expresses regrets? ;-)
In my language there is distinction between those two.

Seba

[atlaisha]

In persian: be bakhshid ببخشید

or

mazerat mikham معذرت می خوام

and more informal is:

sharmande ;-) شرمنده

and very formal :

or just simply :

I use the last word very often and it sounds weird to others and they some times keep themselves from laughing at this.
