That's a shame · That's too bad · How disappointing
Ever had plans canceled last minute or heard some disappointing news? 😫 'That's a bummer!' is your go-to phrase to express mild disappointment or sympathy for someone's unfortunate situation. It’s perfect when things don't quite go as planned or when someone shares a piece of less-than-ideal news.
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression is super versatile. You can use it for small inconveniences (like forgetting your lunch) or bigger disappointments (like missing out on a concert). It's a friendly and empathetic way to react without sounding overly dramatic or dismissive. Just be careful not to use it for truly serious situations; for those, more formal expressions of sympathy are better.
Your friend tells you their favorite band just canceled their concert. Which English expression would best convey your sympathy and disappointment? A. That's fantastic! B. That's a bummer! C. That's hilarious!
