Expressing sympathy

Expressing sympathy is an expression or feeling of pity and sorrow when we know and see someone or people are unlucky or have trouble and in bad condition. By expressing sympathy we want to show our concern of care fullness on other people’s condition.

We express it directly to him/her orally or we can use a letter or card by post also by short message service, e-mail, television, radio and newspaper if he/she who got the trouble is far from us.

Expressing sympathy :

·         I am sorry for what’s happened

·         That is a terrible

·         I am sorry to know that

·         I am sympathy with you

·         I know how it feels!

·         That’s a pity

·         Oh ,no..!

·         Oh, dear..!

Responding to condoles :

·         Thank you

·         That’s life

·         That’s very kind of you

·         God gives and God takes away.

·         There is nothing that can be done about it.
