PRIMBON : SYMPATHY EXPRESSION

Definition of Sympathy Expression :
Sympathy expression is an expression or feeling of pity and sorrow when we know and see someone or people unlucky or have trouble and in bad condition. By expressing sympathy we want to show our concern or carefullness on other people's condition.

How can we give sympathy expression to someone ?
We express it directly to him/her orally or we can use a letter or card by post also by short message service (SMS), e-mail, TV, radio, and newspaper if he/she who got the trouble is far from us.
