It means miserable!

The Germans say "es tut mir lied" when they want to say "really, really sorry", which literally means "it is agony to me".

Languages are funny old things that's for sure - Danish has no word for please

        what do they say instead of please? (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Aug 3, 21:55:09
        
        It's the way you say it (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 3, 22:06:32
        
        I see, I wish I knew a few more languages. they're very cool things I've found (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Aug 3, 22:15:37
        
        Is that only for really really sorry, then? I use it for just "sorry". (n/m) (General Chat) - Sugbad The Bad, Aug 3, 21:36:53
        
        Yes, it's overstating it if you've just bumped into someone (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 3, 21:44:34
    - Well, sometimes you hear sorry (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 3, 21:25:23

        I don't think it's quite that unpleasant; but it does sound odd for sure (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Aug 3, 21:40:06
