Why is vacation plural in the Portuguese translation?

[Paulenrique]

Vacation is always plural in Portuguese when meaning férias

I love Duolingo but it has so many flaws! Like this for example. I come to learn this AFTER having one of my hearts taken away :(

[Lahure]

I would suggest that maybe Duo is excellent. At least it has been so in my experience. Herewith five lingots to replace the one that you lost.

[luzalicia90]

How kind! Thank you so much!!!

[mdmitchell]

Apparently someone completed the unit on flirting. :-O

[AyrtonSmith]

Well, yes, but try learning it by going through the section, rather than trying to test out. You'll learn a lot more as well.

"O feriado é em novembro" is not accepted, but I think it should be. There is a difference between "feriado" and "ferias" in Portuguese which cannot be expressed in English in a single word. I think without a context one can´t say which is best

[DouglasHas1]

There is no way for us to know "caem" becaus it is not a word we learn, can get a hint on or appears previously in this lesson

[ZuMako8_Momo]

cair = caio, cais, cai, caímos, caís, caem

However, you do not have to use the verb cair. You can use são from ser

I don't get it, why is vacation plural? Does that mean the word feria is never used? And how do we say " a vacation?" The vacation?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, "férias" is only plural in Portuguese.

[AnnarHolm]

Is that correct? The vacations are in November?
