اسم B1 event
1

very sad, disastrous event

A very bad and sad event, often with great loss or death.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is a tragedy for [someone]
عام غلطی:
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.”
ہم معنی الفاظ
disaster (Focuses more on the damage or destruction, not always on the sadness.) | catastrophe (Stronger word for a very large-scale tragedy or disaster.) | misfortune (Often refers to bad luck or a smaller sad event, not always as serious as a tragedy.)
متضاد الفاظ
blessing (Something very good or helpful, the opposite of a very sad event.) | triumph (A great success or victory instead of a terrible loss.)

2

the sad fact or aspect

The very sad part or fact about a situation.

استعمال کا انداز: the tragedy is that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use only “sad” where natives often say “the tragedy is that…,” which highlights the most painful part of a situation. They may also say *“the tragedy is very big”* instead of specifying the fact, e.g. “The tragedy is that nobody helped her.”
ہم معنی الفاظ
sadness (General feeling of being sad, not specifically the key sad fact about a situation.) | pity (Often used in expressions like “it’s a pity”; a weaker, more casual way to talk about something unfortunate.)
متضاد الفاظ
positive side (Refers to the good or hopeful aspect of a situation, not the sad one.)

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] writes/acts in a tragedy
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
tragic drama (More technical and less common in everyday speech, mainly used in literary discussion.)
متضاد الفاظ
comedy (A humorous play or film with a happy or light-hearted ending, the opposite dramatic type.)
