completion, regret, or doing something unintentionally

te-form verb + しまう

てしまう can show completion, and often adds regret, disappointment, or doing something unintentionally.

In speech it often contracts to ちゃう or じゃう.

大切なメールを消してしまいました。

I accidentally deleted an important email.

Not every てしまう has strong regret; sometimes it simply emphasizes completion.

The action is done, often with an 'oh no' feeling.
