How do you say I am sorry in Swahili?
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.

0 zero 零
1 Ichi 一
2 ni 二
3 san 三
4 yon 四
5 go 五
6 roku 六
7 shichi 七
8 hachi 八
9 kyuu 九
10 juu 十
For numbers 11 and up, the front would be the tens column and the back would be the ones column.
For example, 11 would be 10+1, which is juu 十 + ichi 一 = juuichi 十一. 12 would be 10+2, which is juu 十+ ni 二 = juuni 十二.
For example on numbers 20-99. Lets go with the number 27. You would put the number for 2 in front, ni. Then the number 10 which will make it be, nijuu. And then when it comes to 7's you change it to nana. Now you have the number 27, nijuunana. You do the same thing with all of the other numbers through 99.
What itsu damo anata wo shinjite iru kara means in Japanese?

'Because I always believe in you'.

What does shogun mean in Japanese?
The closest English equivalent is viceroy; a shogun is an official who rules on behalf of the emperor (as, in English, the viceroy rules on behalf of the king).
_____
I don't think that's all that accurate... while a shogun rules "on behalf" of the emperor on paper, in practice it's anything but. The emperor is simply a figurehead with no real power, who exists solely on the generosity of those he's "ruling". A better way to look at it would be the same way the portugese did when they first got to Japan. They called the emperor the pope (because he had huge influence but no actual power), and they called the shogun the emperor (since he was in fact the warlord in charge of the entire country).
What does taiga mean in Japanese?
In Japanese, "taiga" (タイガ) refers to a forest biome characterized by coniferous forests, commonly known as boreal forests. The term is derived from the Russian word "тайга," which describes these cold, forested regions. In Japan, it often evokes images of dense forests found in northern climates. The concept also emphasizes the ecological significance and biodiversity found within these ecosystems.
