ごめんごめん。
Meaning:
“Sorry, sorry.”
This is the correct response to:
**「遅いよ。どうしたの？」**
(“You’re late. What happened?”)
✔ Option 1 is a natural, casual apology.
✔ Option 2 means “Yeah, thanks,” which doesn’t fit the situation.
✔ Option 3 means “It was fun,” which doesn’t answer why you were late.
Example:
「ごめんごめん、道が混んでた。」
(Sorry, sorry — the road was crowded.)
ごめん
Meaning: sorry (casual).
Example:
ごめん、遅くなった。
(Sorry, I’m late.)
遅い
Meaning: late; slow.
Example:
遅いよ！
(You’re late!)
楽しかった
Meaning: it was fun.
→ Not appropriate as an answer here.
Example:
パーティーは楽しかった。
(The party was fun.)
