sorry thank you
gomen is a casual way of saying sorry. the proper way would be "gomen nasai" (ごめんなさい。）. arigato means thank you and is also very informal. the proper way to say thank you is arigatou gozaimasu（有り難うございます。）.

Sorry
"Gomen" is a very casual way of saying "sorry."
"Arigato" would be "thanks" or "thank you" in this context, which would also be casual.
"Gomen arigato" basically means "Sorry and thanks for the burden" in English. This might sound serious to a native speaker of English, but the situation can be taken lightly and the person who says "gomen arigato" would actually just mean "thank you" or "thanks for the burden".
If you do a favor and the other person says "gomen arigato" you can just interpret as "thank you" or "thanks for the burden".
