Here's another word that don't translate well.

Apology


excuses

noun
les excuses
apology
la excuse
excuse, apology, plea, pretext, alibi, cop
la justification
justification, substantiation, explanation, vindication, excuse, apology
la défense
defense, prohibition, vindication, conservation, championship, apology

Might be why the French don't seem to know the meaning of the word apology.
