This is the 209th most frequent Portuguese word.
nunca
"Never."
In this sentence, 'nunca' stresses a commitment to not repeating an action in the future.
Prometo que nunca mais vou esquecer esse aniversário.
I promise that I will never again forget this birthday.
Here, 'nunca' is used to indicate that the speaker has at no point previously experienced the described event.
Eu nunca tinha visto algo assim antes.
I had never seen something like this before.
'Nunca' here is emphasizing that the speaker does not perform the action at any time, indicating a habitual non-occurrence.
