One of your friends has asked you to help him move to his new apartment this weekend, but because of your own commitments, you don't have the time to do it. You want to let him know without offending him, so you say:
AI'd really love to help you move, but I'm swamped this weekend. I wish I had the time. I'm really sorry.Doğru cevap
BI wish you had asked me weeks ago. How can you expect me to clear my whole weekend on short notice? You know how busy I am.
CDo you think it'd be better if you asked the moving company to reschedule? Otherwise it won't be possible for me to help.
DI'm sorry, I suppose you'll have to manage on your own, it's your move after all. I can't spare any time.
EWhy don't you ask another friend for help? I wish I could, but I don't even know where your new place is.
Neden?
Amaç, arkadaşı kırmadan reddetmektir; doğru seçenek önce istekliliği ('I'd really love to help'), sonra gerekçeyi ve özrü sıralar. 'I wish you had asked me weeks ago' suçlayıcı bir ton taşır. 'You'll have to manage on your own' soğuk ve kırıcıdır; 'I don't even know where your new place is' ise bahane üretir.
