it's ironic, when a person don't have what he want and we are happy for that, we say "quel dommage !"
you don't like smoker and your best go to buy cigarets but the saler is close. he come back and say you he can't smoke, you say ....
quel dommage !
the term "quel fromage" not exist ! |

Hi from France !
All people here is right about : '' quel dommage'' = '' what a pity'' or '' what a shame''.
I give you another example :
'' Quel dommage, j'ai raté le train ''='' What a shame, I missed the train '' ....
Or :
'' J'ai raté le train, quel dommage ! ''='' I missed the train, what a shame ''
You can put it before or after ....
Have a nice day,
Catherine. |

I think it's usually used in the sense of "What a shame!" |

It's like when someone says "Too bad" or "What a pity" . The cigarette shopkeeper was probably out of cigarettes. |

It's more "too bad", "what a shame", or "what a pity."
In your case, it looks like the person was not able to buy cigarettes, so "what a shame". It's in empathy.
The similar phrase (not so nice) is "Ta guille" (or phonetically ta jhay for short), or "tough cookies" to put it nicely or "tough sh*t" if your not so nice. The Ta-g is a bit more short with the person. |

The same places you would use "Too bad" |

"That's too bad," or "What a shame." |

It means "too bad."
Usually people just say "c´est dommage." Quel dommage is pretty old school....
ex: un con vien casser ma voiture (some jerk just broke my car)
quel dommage (that´s too bad)
oui, je suis bilangue... |

Quelle dommage is loosely translated as "what a shame" or "how unfortunate".
Not as popular as the quelle fromage..... or which cheese!!! |

It's like "too bad" or "my my" would be in English. A somewhat negative remark in response to something someone else said. |
