ごめんなさい　How do I say that I am sorry in a deeply apologetic manner?


Recently, I posted content concerning questions and answers from this website
to another without providing proper attribution to the posters and commenters.
I want to say that I am sorry, but also convey a deeper sense of apology. Are
there additional words or phrases that can be used to express a deeper
remorse? Thank you.




A standard formal apology would be 申し訳ありません, which can be made more formal as
申し訳ございません. For an extremely formal apology (for example, a CEO making a public
apology for their company's misconduct), お詫び申し上げます might be good. Optionally,
you could say 心より or 誠に before either of them.
