"Você está de regime?"

Translation: Are you on a diet?

[chopsuey]

I'm here in the politics lesson - so, of course, I used "regime" instead of "diet" - WRONG :/

[Marjolein2020]

you are on a diet is also a good translation, i think.

[Lahure]

That would be correct if the sentence did not have a question mark at the end of it. The ? alters the phrase from a statement of fact (You are on a diet) to a query (Are you on a diet?).

[TerraZe]

Depending on how it's said in English (usually raising the voice at the end), "you are on a diet?" can be made into a question.

I shall say that it is common anyone say “cê tá” than “você está”, here in Minas Gerais and in the other regions they say it

• Você está de dieta?
• Você faz dieta?

Are those valid alternatives?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, they are both right.

Is Dieta not used more frequently than Regime in Brazil for this meaning?

[ubuzen]

Does this translate directly to "You are of diet?" Is there a way to say this in Portuguese that would make more sense to an English person? I don't think I can remember this.

How does "de" translate to "on a" ?

Doesn't De usually mean Of or From?

[JimMedina]

General question: from the audio on Duolingo there is no cue when this phrase is a statement or a question. Without reading the punctuation there is no way I can discern a question from a statement. Am I missing something?

[MartBaker]

Unless your sentence continues with, As you look great use this phrase sparingly

[JonathanWexler]

You are dieting? Is also rejected.

I hear the word "regime" as "hedgimmy". How is it pronounced in European Portuguese?
