con permiso
excuse me (asking permission to pass), with your permission
Pronunciation
/kom peɾ.ˈmi.so/
Cultural Note
Unlike 'perdón' (which apologizes for something already done), 'con permiso' asks for permission before an action — like passing in front of someone or leaving a table. In Latin America, especially Mexico, it is used very frequently. In Spain, 'perdona' often covers this function too.
📝 Example Sentences
Con permiso, necesito pasar.
