معنی
Statement indicating a feeling of sadness.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Mono no aware' (the pathos of things) finds beauty in the sadness of transience, like falling cherry blossoms. Japanese people often suppress personal sadness to avoid making others feel uncomfortable, a practice known as 'Enryo'. Sad endings are very popular and are often called 'naki-ge' (crying games/stories), where the goal is to feel {悲|かな}しい. When giving a gift for a sad occasion (like a funeral), specific wrapping and etiquette are required to respect the {悲|かな}しみ.
Use with '~sugiru'
In casual Japanese, say '{悲|かな}しすぎる' (too sad) to emphasize your feeling.
Third Person Rule
Don't say '{彼|かれ}は{悲|かな}しい' unless you are writing a novel. Use '{悲|かな}しそうだ' in speech.
