Actually

tragedy is a bad incident that IS the victim's own fault

tragic is a bad incident that IS NOT the victim's own fault

I think that's pretty weird

No the difference as said earlier is tradgedy is a noun and tragic is an adjective.

Example: The tsunami incident was a tradgedy!

Tradgedy is the second noun. Tsunami would be an adjective because it describes incident. Incident is a noun. And tradgedy is a noun.

Example: The tsunami incident was tragic.

Tragic describes incident. Which makes it an adjective.

Pretty easy... :rolleyes:
