    Why isn't "the roof" accepted?

      The roof is "o telhado".

        Not in PT-PT though?

          Actually, in PT-PT, «telhado» = "roof" too, because that's what you cover with «telha» = "tile."

            Yes it is. A ceiling is inside and a roof is outside anyway!

            I translated it as "teto" (roof, instead of ceiling) and DL said it was correct.
