Osaki ni Shitsurei Shimasu (お先に失礼します - Excuse Me for Leaving before You)

Osaki ni Shitsurei Shimasu

Today I would like to introduce a useful phrase that you can use when going home before your boss or colleagues leave.

It is 'osaki ni shitsurei shimasu' (お先に失礼します).

Since 'osaki' (お先) means "first/early," 'shitsurei' (失礼) means "rudeness," and 'shimasu' (します) is a polite expression of "do."

Here, 'osaki' implies that you go home (or do something) before someone.

That is to say, this phrase can be interpreted as "I am going to do a rude action of going home before you, please forgive me."
