Synonyms for "συλλυπητήρια"

[cosmasad]

Good morning friends,

Can anyone please suggest a few other ways to express condolences to a friend apart from "συλλυπητηρια"? Is that the only word used in this situation?

Thank you, in advance. I really appreciate it.

 

[AoratiMelani]

"Ζωή σε σας" and "Να ζήσετε να τον/την θυμάστε" are two rather common and familiar expressions.

"Συλλυπητήρια" or "Τα συλλυπητήριά μου" is the most general, to be used on all occasions, formal and informal.

 

[cosmasad]

Thank you, AoratiMelani. These are very helpful. Let me ask you, would it be appropriate to also say "Σας στελνουμε θερμες ευχες"?

 

[Themis†]

No, this is to be used only on joyful occasions (birth, marriage, etc.). Just stick to what AoratiMelani said.

Thank you, Themis. I had that feeling - but wasn't sure.
