Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

honte = shame as in the emotion

dommage = shame specifically in the phrase "what a shame!"

what a shame like what bad luck! right? not like what a disgrace!

Yeah more like "what bad luck!" or "that's unfortunate!"

"what a disgrace!" would be "quelle honte !", incidentally

can they be used as nouns?\

#

and "do you have no shame?" would be "n'as-tu pas la honte?"

"dommage" rarely appears as a noun other than in the expressions "Dommage !" or "Quel dommage !"
In other contexts it usually means "damage"

But "honte" is the default word for "shame", yes. N'as-tu pas honte ? Aren't you ashamed?
N'as-tu aucune honte ? Do you have no shame?

d'accord merci de m'avoir aidé

craggy dock

De rien !
By the way, "pour l'aider" = "for helping him/her"
"pour l'aide" = for the help
