What Does Sympathy Mean?

Answer Question

6 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The word sympathy is used as a noun and whenever you are using the word you are conveying your feelings of being sorry for somebody with whom some unfortunate events have been occurred. Given below is a sentence that can help you if you want to use the word yourself: John has lost all his business because of the Gulf War and I really have feeling of sympathy for him. The sentence says that the professional life of John has been lost and the person who is making the statements is feeling sorry for him.
          
    The word is also being used as apart of an idiom and the idiom 'in sympathy with something' is used to convey the idea of something happening because something else has happened. Given below is a sentence to make the meaning clear in this context: Share prices in the UK slipped in sympathy with the market in US.
