Unapolegetic
means being honest about who you are and what you believe — without feeling guilty or needing to make yourself smaller for others.
Examples:
1- When people speak their mother tongue with pride — even if society expects them to hide it — that’s an unapologetic act.
2- She stopped saying “sorry” before expressing her feelings. Now she speaks calmly but firmly. She’s unapologetically herself.
Hello and welcome back to today’s episode of Daily English.
Today’s expression is “unapologetic.” One more time: “unapologetic.”
Listen to this
She used to rewrite her messages three times to seem “nice enough.”
She apologized every time she needed a break.
She even smiled when something felt unfair — just to avoid being called "too sensitive."
But one day, she realised her silence was more uncomfortable than her honesty. Since then… she has been unapologetic.
What do you think “unapologetic” means in this context?
Unapologetic means being honest about who you are and what you believe — without feeling guilty or needing to make yourself smaller for others.
It doesn’t mean rude. It means authentic, confident, and not feeling sorry for your truth.
- He used to hide his achievements. Now he says, “Yes, I worked hard for this,” without shame. He’s becoming unapologetic.
- When people speak their mother tongue with pride — even if society expects them to hide it — that’s an unapologetic act.
She stopped saying “sorry” before expressing her feelings. Now she speaks calmly but firmly. She’s unapologetically herself.
Fun fact / origin
✨ The word comes from un- (not) + apologetic (feeling sorry). So it literally means: “not sorry.”
— Not sorry for being real.
Is there anything you’ve been apologizing for — even though it reflects who you truly are? How would it feel to express it… unapologetically?
Thanks for listening to Daily English.
See you tomorrow.
