Why is this answer wrong? I understand we can use "se regarder", which is the accepted answer, but I don't understand why this other option is not accepted (it's from a dropdown where options both were present).
Hi,
Is 'tant mieux' used in a sarcastic sense, like 'good for you' in English, or is it used in a genuine sense.
