    Разве/Неужели у тебя нет гордости? or У тебя что, нет гордости?


    the pronunciation you can listen to with Google Translate


    reprovingly you can say Где твоя гордость? - Where's your pride?

    sarcastically - А ты не гордый/ая! - You're not too proud are you?

    Ok, you can't use a literal translation here. When you ask someone "have you no pride?" it means that you feel that they acted in a way contrary to your sense of honour or dignity.

    In Russian, they would ask - "как тебе не стыдно?" - literally "how are you not ashamed?"
