No, they're not the same. Regretting something, be it your actions, or someone elses is different from being disappointed in those actions. To regret means, you wish it happened differently, or not at all. Being disappointed means you've been let down, you expected more, but got less. hope that helps

Regretful means: sorry that something happened.
Disappointed means: what happened did not meet expectations
Example:
The team was disappointed that it did not make the playoffs. John was regretful that he did not give 100% for the entire game.

No. You can be regretful and disappointed at the same time.

nope- regret is feeling bad about an action you did or didn't do/say, disappointment is usually out of your control and you feel it when something doesn't turn out the way you want
