?Which word?

Do not confuse sympathize (to feel sorry for somebody) and empathize (to understand another person's feelings as if they were your own).

Sympathize (किसी के लिए दुख महसूस करना) और empathize (किसी की भावनाओं को ऐसे समझना जैसे वे अपनी हों) में भ्रम न करें।

§Grammar and usage

Sympathize with somebody (not 'sympathize to' or 'sympathize for').

Sympathize with somebody सही है ('sympathize to' या 'sympathize for' गलत है)।
