That's tough · That's difficult · That's a pity
Ever heard a friend tell a story that makes you cringe with sympathy? 😬 'That's rough' is your go-to phrase for acknowledging tough situations, bad news, or just a really annoying day someone's having. It's like a verbal hug for their troubles, saying 'I get it, that stinks!'
💡 **Pro-tip!** This expression is super versatile. You can use it for anything from a minor inconvenience (like spilling coffee) to bigger challenges (like a tough project deadline). It shows empathy without being overly dramatic. Just make sure your tone matches the situation – a slight frown usually does the trick! 😉
When would you most appropriately use 'That's rough.'? A. When a friend tells you they just won the lottery. B. When you're enthusiastically agreeing to a fun plan. C. When someone shares that their computer crashed and they lost hours of work.
