பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes use "lament" in very casual situations where a lighter word like "be sad about" or "be upset about" sounds more natural. "Lament" usually suggests strong, serious sadness, often about death or a major loss, and fits best in formal speech, writing, or emotional descriptions, not in everyday minor complaints.
பொருள்
express deep sorrow or grief
