Be careful: What you wrote means
What (or which) damage
for: ‘what a pity‘ or ‘what a shame‘, or ‘too bad‘
a real Frenchman (or -woman) would say: ‘Que c’est dommage’
De rien! (it was a pleasure)

He wants to say " what's shame!". It's the same thing, there are no differences between the English and the french expression.

It means "that's too bad" or "what a shame"
It can be used in a sympathetic way or in a sarcastic way...it all depends on the facial expression.

hi,
it is what you say when you want to be sarcastic or even when something has happened which is unfortunate.
the english equivalent is 'what a shame/pity'!
i guess it has the same meaning in french as it would in english!

What a pity! (in the sense that it's bad luck)

The direct translation would be: what damage? (as in: what damage has been caused!) But you would translate that colloquially as 'Oh dear!' or something discerning to that effect!
