Language is the essential signaling system used as communicative acts to achieve goals or purposes. Therefore, the influential power of words cannot be ignored or even underestimated. Acknowledgements and expressives are the most frequently speech acts used by human beings in various situations and occasions. Accordingly, in times of afflictions or bereavements, language must manipulate these two speech acts to express sympathy, regret, support and encouragement. Condolence utterances are the tools for achieving these acts. Death is the most difficult time people experience, therefore, condolences present sympathetic comfort and in turn help to weaken the burden and strengthen the bereaved. The afflictions or bereavements are inevitably occurred; therefore, the concept of condolence is universal, i.e., common in all cultures.
