"Eu não tenho um cavalo."

Translation: I do not have a horse.

[TiffiJones]

My not having a horse is one of the biggest problems of my life. A horse makes everything better :)

How is "tenho" pronounced? It sounded almost like "tengo" or "tenno" - isn't it supposed to be something like "ten-yo"?

[Luccastro]

Do you know how the "ñ" from spanish sounds like? It's pretty similar. Something like "teñu" (the "o" at the end sounds like "u")

[MuskenJason]

I haven't a horse is also correct

[cupsofexcitment]

When she says tenho it sounds like tem
