deep guilt and painful regret
A very strong bad feeling because you know you did something wrong or hurt someone.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] feels remorse for/about [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "remorse" with "regret" or "sorry". "Remorse" is usually stronger and linked to moral or serious wrong actions, while "regret" can be used for small things (e.g., "I regret not buying that jacket"). Learners also sometimes use the wrong preposition; the most common patterns are "feel remorse for/about/over [something]", not *"remorse on" or *"remorse of" in modern usage.
Synonyma
regret (A general feeling of wishing you had acted differently; can be weaker and less moral than remorse.)
|
guilt (Focuses on the sense of having done wrong; remorse usually includes more emotional pain and sadness.)
|
repentance (Stresses being sorry and wanting to change, often with a religious or moral tone; remorse is the painful feeling itself.)
Antonyma
indifference (Shows no emotional concern about having done wrong, the opposite of feeling strong regret.)
|
shamelessness (A lack of shame or guilt about bad actions, contrasting with the painful self-blame in remorse.)
