"Femeia are o varză la cuptor."

Translation: The woman has a cabbage in the oven.

Cabbage??? In the oven???

[Mariasha77]

There are tons of casserole dishes with cabbage.

Why don't you need to add any definite article to "cuptor" in this case? (i.e. why is it not "Femeia are o varză la cuptorul"?)

[ziyayerlik]

AFAIK most prepositions (like la) don't take definite articles, so nouns following them will appear in their indefinite/non-suffixed forms

[ziyayerlik]

Why isn't în used? Is 'la cuptor' a set phrase?

[ruomanian]

not necessarily, în should work too, but the course is still in beta, so

[gluadys]

"in" worked for me.

[digestives27]

I swear "la cuptor" can't decide if it wants to be "in the oven" or "on the oven". Incredibly frustrating.

Is she pregnant?
