sarra_abboApril 2017 There's really no difference, I guess, I tend to use "pardon me" when Im interrupting a conversation or something like that but "excuse me" if someone is in my way and I need to get through. But if you switched those it wouldn't make any difference really. They're virtually the same thing coloqually. |
kso89April 2017 I don't think anyone in the U.S. uses "Pardon me" anymore, except jokingly. "Excuse me" is much more common, at least around here. That's the only difference, really.
mahdi1April 2017 thank you
KriszoeApril 2017 '' Excuse me '' could be used in two different contexts. Context one being '' Excuse me? '' as in, asking someone to repeat what they have just said if you are in disbelief, i.e if they have said something rude, Context two being '' excuse me '' as in, can you please move out of the way. '' Pardon me '' is usually used when you burp in the wrong situation, or burp in general! |
