"Quanto dura?"

Translation: How long does it last?

Why isn't "how long" acceptable

[AshleyAudine]

how long is not a complete sentence - "dura" is not accounted for in that translation.

[mbisson]

I think "How long?" is perfectly acceptable. Given the context, "How long [does it last]?" is implied. Duolingo answers need not be complete sentences if past precedent is any indication...

[marieke.ligtvoet]

How long does it take is not accepted. Why?

[fofolafo]

Would have thought that is fine. Report it.

[wiplala]

had that too, now reported it.

[TerreyP]

This is incorrect. 'Quanto dura' = how long. 'How long is it?' should be: 'quanto dura è?' How long does it last? = Quanto tempo dura?

bahahhahaha

[redearth329]

I tried "How long does he last?" (feeling cheeky)... but it didn't accept it. Is that really not an acceptable translation for some reason?

[b.g.griffin]

I tried "how long do you last?" with the same ... sentiment ... in mind. It was what the suggested translation of "dura"="(you/he/she/it) lasts" seemed to allow...

[WalterVojic]

Because that makes no sense

[mstone01501]

How come 'how long does he last' is not accepted?

[Louise304133]

When I clicked on dura to give a hint it said (you) last. So i put how long do you last and was marked wrong

[EdSpooner]

So did I. None of my business, I suppose.

[CraigPickering]

I said 'How much lasts'. Why is that wrong?

[haowanr]

For me, it sounds like “Quando dura”

[Macossay]

Previously we had the sentence "Lei è dura." Meaning "She is tough." Duo doesn't accept it, but could "Quanto dura?" mean "How tough?"
