"Nós vamos para a festa regional."

Translation: We go to the regional party.

'Regional party'? Sounds a bit forced in English... Something like 'local festival' sounds more realistic, although I am aware that has a slightly different meaning...

[erudis]

In Portuguese, this term usually refers to a traditional festival based on the culture of a certain place. I don't know the equivalent English term, but "local festival" definitely sounds better than "regional party" (which could even be confused by a political party).

[PabloStanfield]

We have fairs and festivals that are public parties. A party is usually private. Duo's idea that festa = party is forced. Festival and festa are not the same, but we often use the same word in English for both.

Or county fair

Sounds like the Ukrainian political party...

[DaveBoltman]

Yes, in English, a party is usually a more limited, private event, but a festival is public

As a Capoeirista, 'festa regional' means something a little different for me!

[JoyceHilary]

This is weird English. We would normally say "We are going to ...". But this was marked wrong.

Exactly my answer, and I am Afrikaans.

[Marina164433]

Yes, that's what I wrote too: "We are going to..."

when you are tested for pronunciation, if you tap the microphone button as the woman reads out the words it'll think your speaking - (for the cheaters out there)

[Momosow]

What about regional celebration would that be correct in English ?
