help with portuguese pronunciation???
i am part portuguese and have wanted to learn portuguese for awhile. Ive planned on getting a tattoo saying 'no regrets' but to honor my heritage i want to get it in portuguese 'não lamenta'. i simply would like to know is how to pronounce the phrase correctly instead of sounding foolish and pronouncing what my tattoo says incorrectly. thanks!

Hello, Arianna. I saw your message - obviously, haha - and don't know if you already find the answer, buut, just want to warn you that if you're going to tattoo "no regrets" in portuguese, I think it would be "Sem Arrependimentos". "Não lamenta" would be right just if you want something that means, in English "he/she doesn't regrets." – Third person. I'm a native speaker, but check it! Hope it helps you!

aaand, sorry for any mistakes, I'm not used to write in English! haha.
Bye!

Hello Arianna.

According to what you said. "Não lamenta" wouldn't be the best way to express "No regrets". Because is something that you are talking to someone (a third person). In this case, you can say "Não lamento". But doesn't sounds good.
A better way to say this would be "sem arrependimentos","sem mágoas", "faria tudo de novo".

I'm sorry about errors, i'm not fluent in your language.
