Yes, you can use 遗憾 (yíhàn) to express sadness. 遗憾 is a Chinese word that means "repentant, regretful". It is often used to express feelings of sorrow or regret. For example, you could say "我很遗憾，我不能去参加你的生日派对" (wǒ hěn yíhàn, wǒ bùnéng qù cānjiā nǐ de shēngrì pàiduì), which translates to "I am sorry, I cannot attend your birthday party".
