Hi Luca Gentile,


Thank you for your question.


Yes, it is common use this expression when necessary. A usual expression can be also following: "Anteeksi, olen pahoillani" (apologies, I am sorry) if you possibly regret doing or saying something to somebody.


If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you.
