Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Pity"

A: Hi!

'More out of pity than anything' means that whatever you did/said was more out of sympathy than genuine want/reason.

For example:

'I agreed to go to his party more out of pity than anything'

This means the person agreed to go to the party, even though they didn't really want to, because they felt sorry for the person asking them. They felt guilty so decided to go because of that.

I use 'more out of [ ] than anything' pretty regularly, it's definitely part of daily speech here.

Other examples:

"I read the magazine more out of boredom than anything."

"I called the number more out of curiosity than anything."

A: es una lástima / qué pena

A: @Ri-na It's a pity, certainly a glaring omission in our experiences so far.

It's a pity,
certainly = 確かに
a glaring omission ＝ (fixed phrase) something obviously missing
in our experiences so far

Such a shame, definitely something we must add to our experiences.

A: no siento lástima por ti en absoluto

A: This is an odd sentence and you will probably never encounter something like this in normal speech. If you say you are dead to something, then that means you can't feel it or experience it. So in this case, she can't feel pity.

A: Hi!
Here are some examples:

Example 1:
Anna: "Did you see the news? It'll rain tomorrow"
Jacob:"it's such a pity, I was going to take my dog to the park"

Example 2: "It's such a pity she didn't finish highschool, she is very smart"

By the way, the word "such" emphasizes how pitiful it is

A: "It is a pity that I couldn't go to that concert; I would really have liked to go."
"It's a pity that it rained on her party."
"It's a pity that we don't have money to lend him."
"It's a pity nobody thought to invite Angelica."
"It's a pity that you had an exam and couldn't come."

A: I pity the person that pities another for his pity on those that pity.

Pity's direct definition is to feel sorry for. I pity, You pity, He pities, They puty. and we pity are all correct.

More examples.

A: What a pity (not what's a pity) is a phrase used when you're disappointed by something

Also, in case you wanted grammar advice, these are the correct ways of saying it.

A: Pity is the feeling of regret or disappointment.
"Its a pity you cant hang out on Saturday!"

Petty is when someone is overreacting or immature about something. This is an informal slang term.

A: Yes, you can say that either way. Of is a word that is used incorrectly by native English speakers a LOT. We often mix it up and use it in the wrong places too, so don't worry too much! It is used for amounts like "3 pounds of meat" "a piece of pie" " a bunch of bananas"

A: Pity is more of an insult, sympathy is more kind. Pity implies you look down on someone and see yourself as above them. Sympathy implies you see someone as your equal but feel sorry for them due to circumstance.

A: @jickoon: the 1st implies action, like giving aid or sparing punishment.

A: It sounds very natural but the last sentence kind of doesnt make sense. Instead of just "thought" it can be something like: Death is an important part of our life and should be faced, throughly thought about, and then accepted.

Or you can just simply take out "throughly" and just leave it as "thought about". You can also choose to leave it as "finally accepted" instead of "then accepted" but that is just what I would do.

I hope this helps!

A: You should write the exact thing you wrote except change “he must” to “he would be”
