Discover LudwigThe phrase "are pity" is not correct and usable in written English.
It seems to be a grammatical error, as "are" is a verb that typically requires a subject and "pity" is a noun that does not fit in this context.
Example: "They are a pity to see in such a state."
Alternatives: "is a shame" or "is unfortunate."
