very bad and to be regretted

Very bad and causing people to feel sorry or angry about it.

استعمال کا انداز: a lamentable [decision/mistake/situation]; it is lamentable that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "lamentable" with the verb "lament" and try to use it as a verb (e.g. *"They lamentable the loss"*). "Lamentable" is only an adjective and must describe a noun ("a lamentable loss") or be used after a linking verb ("The situation is lamentable"). Another issue is overusing it in casual speech, where simpler words like "very bad" or "terrible" are more natural.

استعمال کا انداز: a lamentable [end/sight/story]; the lamentable [death/loss] of [someone]

ہم معنی الفاظ
tragic (Stresses the sadness and seriousness of an event; slightly broader and more common in everyday speech.) | pitiful (Highlights that something or someone makes you feel pity; can sometimes sound more judgmental or condescending.) | sad (A simpler and more general word; less formal and less intense than "lamentable".)
