leids
"Leids" is not a proper German word. Perhaps you meant "Leid," which means "sorrow" or "suffering" in English.
Here, 'leid' is used in the phrase 'es tut mir leid,' which translates to 'I am sorry' in English. It expresses an apology or regret for something.
Es tut mir leid, dass ich zu spät bin.
I am sorry that I am late.
In this context, 'Leid' means 'sorrow' or 'grief,' referring to emotional distress being communicated.
Sie hat ihm sein Leid geklagt.
She lamented her sorrow to him.
Here, 'Leid' conveys the concept of suffering or hardship experienced, often contrasted with other emotions or situations.
