Definition
of Showing Care / Simphaty
Sympathy expression is
an expression or feeling of pity and sorrow when we know and see people are
unlucky, have trouble, or are in bad condition. (Ungkapan rasa simpati di
gunakan untuk menyatakan rasa simpati kepada seseorang atas suatu kejadian,
baik kabar menggembirakan atau tidak). For example, our friend is sad because
his/her grandfather is sick. We can entertain him/her by showing sympathy. By
expressing sympathy, we want to show our concern or care for other people’s
condition.

bad conditions. It is also aimed to let people know that we care for them. We
can express sympathy directly to him/her orally by saying something supportive.
In this way, we let our friend know that we know about his/her sadness and we
let our friend know that we care and want to help him/her. If the person who is
introuble is far from us, we can send him/her a letter, postcard, short message
service (sms), or email to show our care/ sympathy.
