This study explores Tunisian Arabic speaking university students’ choice of apology strategies in a discourse completion task. Apologies appear to be offered mostly in three major situations where the offended is either a close friend, old in age or having the power to influence the offender's future. A considerable percentage of the subjects deny/shift responsibility for the wrongdoing. Other less employed strategies are: self-castigation, repair proposition, victim blaming, invoking Allah's name, humour, intensification, and minimization.
