Pity

Hi

Does the sentence: I wish you were here mean the same as It's a pity you're not here?

thanks

The intimation could be similar in some contexts, but no, they are not synonymous.

Hi

Let's say I want to send a postcard to my friend (I'm on vacation) and I write: I wish you were here with me OR It's a pity you're not here with me.

--- Do both of them work?

They both make sense but they do not have the same meaning.
