very sad, disastrous event
A very bad and sad event, often with great loss or death.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[something] is a tragedy for [someone]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes use “tragedy” for small everyday problems (like missing a bus). In natural English, “tragedy” is usually kept for very serious or deeply sad events. Also, many learners confuse “tragedy” (noun) with “tragic” (adjective), saying *“It was very tragedy”* instead of “It was very tragic” or “It was a tragedy.”

The very sad part or fact about a situation.
