What does sorry to take so long mean?
I’d be using this in an email, at the beginning: “I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you”. I was thinking “Siento tomar tanto tiempo en responderte.”, but then I looked on the spanishdict dictionary and it says that when tomar is used meaning “to take (time)” it is pronomial. So would it be “Siento tomarme tanto…”?

Which is correct I am sorry it took so long?
In normal speech situations I’d probably use the first one but contracted I’m sorry it took so long. The clause that it took so long is what is often called a “noun clause.” Following CGEL, I’ll call it a content clause because it’s not actually like a noun. More specifically, it’s a declarative content clause. The word that is a subordinator.
