| Dec 18, 2016 at 0:22 | comment | added | Au101 | @stannius There's also 'pitiable' - which is a little bit better to my ear, but really isn't an improvement on the idiomatic 'it is such a pity ...' at all | |
| Dec 17, 2016 at 20:38 | comment | added | stannius | Pitiful is an adjective, but "It is so pitiful that you..." has a different meaning and is a bit insulting. | |
| Dec 17, 2016 at 19:48 | comment | added | ColleenV | "So pity" sounds like Doge to me because, as the answers explain, pity doesn't have a degree. very grammar. much confuse. wow, English. ;) I hope the article I linked explaining how to create Doge phrases will be helpful in understanding how so, much, many, et. al. are used in English (and maybe be interesting at the same time). I would probably say "It's so unfortunate" or "It's so sad" if I didn't want to use "such a pity". | |
