Answer 1

A couple of possible options:

¡Qué vergüenza! (Shame!)

¡Qué lástima! (What a pity!)

Answer 2

Depends on the intent of the phrase...'too bad' as in 'it's too bad you lost your job' would be 'Que pena' (which is closer to 'what a shame'..hope that helps?

Answer 3

Actually I think ¡Ni modo! does work. It's not a very sympathetic expression, and often means something along the lines of "tough luck".

Dee914 has given some excellent answers that also work.

Thanks, Goyo! :-) - Dee914, Jan 10, 2010

Answer 4

thank you, it is in the context of someone saying 'yesterday a tiny slice of pizza cost me one euro and it was awful' and the other person saying ' too bad'. I have found ni modo... does ni modo make sense?

"ni modo" is quite similar to the American slang "no way". - samdie, Jan 11, 2010

Answer 5

Que Lastima = Too Bad or what pity. Although in my spanish class it has become quite popular to say instead! miercoles

Answer 6

too bad = mas mal

Answer 7

Welcome to the forum, ni modo translates to "or so", but I'm not an expert on it.
