【No. 1378】Shinshū Osasshi Shimasu (心中お察しします - You Have My Sympathies)

Shinshū Osasshi Shimasu

When unhappy or sad events happen to someone, we sometimes say shinchū osasshi shimasu (心中お察しします) out of sympathy.

Shin (心) means "heart," chū (中) means "inside," o (お) is a polite prefix, and sassuru (察する) means "to guess something," "to infer something," or "to get a message."

That is to say, this phrase means that "I can infer and understand inside your heart (your feelings)."

You can also say okimochi osasshi itashimasu (お気持ちお察しいたします) by using okimochi (お気持ち - literally "feeling") instead of shinchū.
心中お察しします

誰かに悲しいことや辛いことがあったとき、その人のことを思いやって「心中お察しします」と言うことがあります。

「心」は "heart," 「中」は "inside," 「察する」は "to guess something" や "to infer something," "to get a message" を意味します。

すなわちこの表現は、「あなたの気持ちを推測して理解できます」ということを意味します。

「心中」の代わりに "feeling" を意味する「お気持ち」を使い、「お気持ちお察しいたします」のように言うこともできます。

    Using "that" here is ok, but it is not needed and is probably more natural to omit it.

Very well written. I made only one optional suggestion.
