From a dictionary, I see about 16 words for "regret". What would be the best translation for a
mild, but sincere form of regret? Something on the order of, "Oh shoot, I wish I had taken the
trash out."

Thanks

Try "糟糕!我忘了。。。" for that type of sentences.

后悔 would do this level.

Still trying to work out what the Chinese for "take the trash out" would be.

"糟糕!我忘了送走垃圾了."
Is this anywhere near "Oh shoot, I wish I had taken the trash out." ?

Try 倒垃圾. Also, consider“如果我記得倒垃圾就好了。"

Would 掉垃圾 work for "take the rubbish (trash )" out?










Koneko -

Was the originator asking for translation or feeling after the event?

My earlier example is for the latter.

No. See Skylee's example.

掉垃圾

Whoops, seems like some sort of Cantonese finally infiltrated my brain.
