Quoting azade:

Thank you for the explanation
So if I wanted to say "I'm feel sorry for you" should I use a different verb alltogether?



It's not "I'm feel sorry for you" it's either, "I feel sorry for you" or "I'm feeling sorry for you"

and the translation I think is... Ona acıyorum - I feel sorry for her/him/it.

Can someone help me on this also

as leameus commented: başkasına üzülürüz
so we use the verb "üzülmek" when being sorry for someone else

acımak means also be sorry but it means "to pity"/"to feel pity for" more.

"üzüldüm" has a feeling like you have the pain inside of you.

"acıdım" has a feeling that the pain of that person is very big but there is also a cold-blooded idea, I think.

My idea: Generally everyone can "acımak" but noone can "üzülmek" sincerely. Everyone can see a homeless but not everyone helps him. "To be just sorry" is acımak, and also üzülmek. But üzülmek can also be deeply.

natamam isn't used.
incomplete - eksik,bitmemiş

tünaydın / good afternoon



Is that word used a lot in common/daily speech?
