feel grief over non‑death loss
To feel or show great sadness because you lose something important, or because something good ends.
نمط الاستخدام:
[someone] mourn [something] / mourn the loss of [something]
غلطة شائعة:
Learners may think *mourn* is only used for death. It is also natural for serious non‑death losses: *mourn the loss of your home*, *mourn the end of an era*. Be careful not to use it for small, everyday disappointments; in those cases, words like *miss*, *regret*, or *be sad about* are more natural.
مرادفات
lament (More formal and literary; often used for public or thoughtful regret about change or loss.)
أضداد
welcome (To accept or greet something with pleasure, the opposite of mourning its loss or end.)

make a low, sad sound
When something like wind or a bell makes a low, sad sound, as if it is very unhappy.
نمط الاستخدام:
[something] mourn
غلطة شائعة:
Learners may try to use this literary sense with people, as in *He mourned in the distance* to describe a sound. For sounds, it is safer to use verbs like *cry*, *wail*, *howl*, or *sound sad* in normal speech; this use of *mourn* is mainly literary.
مرادفات
wail (Describes a long, high, crying sound; not always as quiet or low as *mourn* in this literary sense.)
أضداد
ring out (To sound loud and clear in a strong way, contrasting with the soft, sad quality of a sound that 'mourns'.)
