Unsinnige Alternative entfernt, tut leid wieder klein, wie im Fließtext

| Jun 14, 2019 at 21:13 | comment | added | user unknown | Why do you believe that it depends on the sex of the speaker, why restrict it to male Germans or german speaking persons? Did you encounter similar constructs, where it depends on the sex of the speaker? Is this the case in your mothers language? | |

| Jun 14, 2019 at 16:50 | comment | added | hajef | Male native German speaker here (Germany), I do agree that "tut mir leid" could be used for all of these examples but I myself would rarely if ever use it that way. I use "Es tut mir leid" whenever I want to apologize or want to express my sympathy whenever I (partly) caused the other person's trouble but did not act with bad intends (which would be close to the only time I'd literally apologize using "Entschuldigung"). So for me, "es tut mir leid" is quite occupied being an apology. In all examples (or any case where I didn't cause the trouble) I'd likely say "tut mir leid für dich". | |

removed "für" that came from a word-by-word-translation from English "for what" + 1 typo
