"Ho una torta nel forno."

Translation: I have a cake in the oven.

[olefattguy]

You sure it is not a bun?

[mch_kharkov]

and in Italian does it also mean that the cake (bun) will eventually scream and pee?

[malcolmissimo]

No, that's not in "forno", it's incinta. :-)

[PolarBear667564]

"Bun in the oven" is a euphemism. Even in England we wouldn't literally put a baby in the oven!

[PolarBear667564]

But we could literally "throw the baby out with the bathwater "

[BampaOwl]

But bun is not accepted! Surprise!

[HopeC.Goude]

Clearly I heard her say 'nella.'

[Fishandveg]

Me too. i think it is put in there to confuse us

[DonnaSidoti]

me too! this is very frustrating. I've listened to her 10 times and she keeps saying NelLA!!!!

[LauraPullalis]

Does anyone know what the difference is between 'nel' and 'in'? I don't know when to use which one. Thanks a lot!

[cristo_mac]

My Italian wife overheard me saying this and thinks it should be 'al forno'. Can anyone confirm?

[tom1159]

Using a translator app ...al forno, ...in forno and ...nel forno all translate to "... in the oven". It could be a regional preference.

[Krestazza]

al forno might be a regional/dialectal usage but it's not "proper" italian

[BampaOwl]

Al forno is a term I'd expect to find on a menu indicating a cooking style. It's definitely Lasagne al forno!

[AlonBrand]

Dimentico una torta nel forno= I'm burning 1000 calories in less than 1 hour!

[mch_kharkov]

la dieta più dura mai :)

[EDK-Learner]

Again the audio says "nella" and not "nel."

[Terry745570]

I hear the a on una torta and nella. But its nel!! Makes it so hard!

[Hanna460805]

Now it does not accept the english translation even it is in the same format as in the correct answer

[Georgi1488]

Why is furnace not correct?

[jason73043]

i wonder if that is colloquial for "pregnant"
