残念 -- adj-na, n.
Notes: not easy to translate this word. Roughly it depends on situation and intonation. Zannen desu can be translate as 'too bad'. Gaijin Explorer also list it as "It's unfortunate but..." "I am sorry to say..." for 'zannen desu ga..'
A drama called Zannen-na Otto (2015) was widely known as Disappointing Husband. Though, based on reading the synopsis, I personally say that saying Unfortunate Husband fits the story, too.
