謝る
あやまる · ayamaru · JLPT N4 · verb-godan
to apologize
🙇 Sounds like: Ah, ya, my rule broke — so I apologize
a-ya-ma-ru: say it as Ah, ya, ma rule — admitting you broke a rule. The kanji 謝 has the speech radical 言 on the left, so the apology is something spoken; it is the same 謝 as in 感謝 (gratitude).
