"Ele conserta o aquecimento."

Translation: He fixes the heat.

[RyanBell22]

Seems to me that you fix the "heater", not the "heat".

[Danmoller]

Yeah....it's the "heating".

Calor = Heat

Aquecedor = Heater

Aquecimento = Heating (noun)

Aquecendo = Heating (gerund verb)

[cchris1997]

Isn't "to repair"and "to fix"the same thing? Also, you have "conserta"defined as "to repair"immediately to the left.

[Danmoller]

Yes, repair should be accepted (even if the verb reparar exists in Portuguese)

[superfantastik]

Yes, exactly the same problem.

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

I though it was saying ele conserta o casamento. It would be quite disturbing if an engineer turned up and said I'm here to fix your marriage.

[mahogany1981]

me too

[lesliewilman]

They also give, "He is reparing the heating" as a correct solution, but unfortunately they are perhaps unique in spelling "repairing" like that. There again, that could be the US spelling, but my dictionaries do not note it,, though they do give "reparable" which is not the UK spelling, either. I suspect that "heat" is not a natural rendering of "aquecimento"= "heating".

[Lingodingle]

Reparing is not English here in the US, maybe you could repare an apple, if it grew another skin. I repair the "heat" by turning up the thermostat, but repair the heater or stove or furnace in other ways.

[Frencesca]

Like :) although this is not facebook

[Tim996871]

Reparable is a rare alternative spelling of repairable in UK English, mostly used in the negative, eg, "irreparable damage"

[ajvincent]

Can you use arrumar in this sense too?

[VictorTheLead]

You can use "arrumar, consertar, reparar, restaurar"

Here they mean the same.

[Molly888309]

You don't "fix the heat" in UK English, you would say "fix the heating"

[NedLidbury]

Same in Australia

não sei a palavra >> aponto o mouse para a tradução de "aquecimento" em inglês, dá a opção de heating ou warming. coloco a segunda opção e dá errado !

[Paulenrique]

"Warming" é usado quando se fala de aquecimento global, por exemplo. Aquecimento de edifícios é "heating".
