How can I apologize in German?

Community Answer

The standard apology in German is, "es tut mir Leid." This literally translates as, "it does me harm," but loosely translates as, "I'm sorry." Less formally, you might instead say, "tut mir Leid."

How do I say I am fine?

Community Answer

You can say "Ich bin gut" or "Ich bin prima," which both mean "I am good." There is no specific word for "fine," at least as it relates to how you feel.

Question

What does "Jawoll" mean?

Community Answer

It means the same as "Ja", which means yes, it just express an enthusiastic affirmation. It often can sound kind of harsh and scary, though, because people sometimes are shouting while saying it.
