the word poor

It means he has no money.

Then, how can I say something bad happen to him with the word "poor"?

Ah, you use it as an adjective.

Poor man!

Hi,

I have a small further comment.

"he is so poor"

It's better to say 'He is very poor'. Say 'so' when you want to give a consequence, eg He is so poor that he can't pay his rent'.

so does not mean the same as very.

Jimmy,

When we use “so” in a context, it's function is to enhance the effect of the adjective that follows. You could think of it as exaggeration. Typically, “so” is used “ in conjunction with “that” in most context. i.e. He is so poor that he can

he is destitute (which is very poor)

"Then, how can I say something bad happen to him with the word 'poor'?"

If you mean he is ill then you could the use alternate adjective form:

poorly (adverb/adjective)

• adverb in a poor manner.

• adjective chiefly Brit. unwell.

In the UK, "He's very poorly" is 'euphemistic hospital speak' for he's probably going to die...

>Then, how can I say something bad happen to him with the word 'poor'?"

He's in an awfully poor shape/condition.

or simply:

Poor guy/fellow/lad!
(then something bad has generally happened to him)
