              So ''ficar'' also means to spend quality time?

                  It's a trick question, if you read it it actually says "month" instead of "time".

                      I have no idea how my comment ended up here. I'm sure I must have written this reply for something else.

                        so it's nos really used as in english to ''spend time''?

                          There's that ficar verb again.. Seems to have lots of uses

                              Exactly!

                                "Ficar" means "to stay with" or "to remain", not "to spend time with."

                                  Also to change into. And slang for 'sleeping' with someone. Let it have this too.

                                    I do not like how the speaker adds the letter r in words with no r's

                                      wait, so can this sentence mean both: we spend time with our family or we stay with our family...depending on context? I was still confused after reading the comments...because to me these are 2 different meanings

                                      Both are correct.

                                        I found 24 definitions for "ficar" and "spend time" was not among them. Is this an idiomatic expression?

                                          It may have this meaning, but for this it is more common to use "passar um tempo".

                                                Por que não "remain"?

                                                  Não vejo porque não pode ser. Eu reportá-lo-ia. Só se o Duolingo achar isso muito formal; isso é equivalente a «Permanecemos com a nossa família.».

                                                      Either way should be accepted.

                                                        So ''ficar'' also means to spend quality time?

                                                          Ficar means stay =)

                                                            Could this also mean "we keep our family?"
