You don't actually say I'm sorry in the English sense but you can admit a mistake and ask for forgiveness. Kosa langu. (my mistake.) Naomba msamaha (or nisamehe or samahani, all meaning forgive me).

If you wronged or hurt some you would almost surely also say pole (poleni to two or more oeople), which has no English equivalent but is used to show you care about another's misfortune, whether a stubbed toe, a dropped pencil, or a death in the family. Swahili-speakers often translate it into English as "sorry," but it very rarely is used in the same way as the English word.
