Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used in a cross - cultural context, it should be noted that although it generally represents negative emotions, the acceptance of negative emotional expressions varies in different cultural backgrounds. It may be more easily understood when used in relatively relaxed, friendly and informal cross - cultural exchanges, and should be avoided in very serious or formal initial exchanges to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Usage Scenarios
Social Scenes
It is suitable for use when chatting with friends and family in social situations. When one encounters some small setbacks, such as failing an exam or having a minor quarrel with a friend, it can be used to express one's sad feelings; or it can also be used when seeing pitiful events, such as a small animal getting injured.
Work Scenarios
It is generally less used in the workplace, unless in a very relaxed team atmosphere where colleagues have a relatively close relationship. For example, in the internal communication of a creative group, it can be appropriately used to express emotions when creativity is rejected or some minor troubles are encountered. However, it is not suitable for use in serious scenarios such as formal business negotiations and reporting work to superiors.
