If it’s “excuse me”? like “what (did you say)?”, then it’s “Pardon.” If it’s excusing yourself after bumping into someone or the like, then it’s “excusez-moi.” This can also be used in conversation when someone else is talking and you’re politely interrupting.... Show More
It’s simply “Excusez-moi,” or if you want to be really formal, try “Veuillez s’il vous plaȋt m’excuser.” But the latter one sounds more of an apology whereas the former is more about if you were passing by in a crowded place.... Show More
