?Which word?

Do not confuse regrettably (used to say something is a pity) and regretfully (in a way that shows you feel sorry), so 'Regretfully, she waved goodbye' describes her feeling.

Regrettably (किसी बात को अफ़सोसजनक बताने के लिए) और regretfully (पछतावे या दुख के भाव के साथ) में भ्रम न करें, इसलिए 'Regretfully, she waved goodbye' उसके भाव को बताता है।
