deep guilt and painful regret
A very strong bad feeling because you know you did something wrong or hurt someone.
תבנית שימוש:
[someone] feels remorse for/about [something]
טעות נפוצה:
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.
