"O bolo fica uma hora no forno."

Translation: The cake stays in the oven for an hour.

Bolo is pronounced in a weird way by the computer, even in the slow version. Could use some editing of the phonetics.

How about "remains" for fica ? Would make sense if they accept "stays"

[rnelissa]

It accepted "stays" for me

Another translation: "The cake stays an hour in the oven."

Question for the moderator(s): Just for the heck of it, I tried "The cake has been in the oven for an hour" (the Owl didn't like it) - is this really an incorrect translation? If so, how would I say this correctly in Portuguese? Many thanks in advance!!

[Paulenrique]

O bolo (já) está no forno há/por uma hora.

[LotSparham]

Obrigado, PE!

'Tem estado' can be used too?

[saschambaer]

What is wrong with using furnace instead of oven?

[molypanchita]

I think of a furnace as for wood etc...an oven is for baking/cooking

[LotSparham]

A furnace is used to heat a building, or melt (for instance iron) ore to extract metals, but not for cooking.

Why isn't " a hour " excepted, the correct answer was " 1 hour " but um/uma = A or 1

[Cely386728]

It isn't correct to say, 'a hour'.

A or an?
When a word begins with a vowel, (or vowel sound, such as hour), use 'an'... answer, asterisk, eggplant, igloo, orange, occupying ostrich

[OnomeOm]

How is it incorrect to say "is kept in the oven for an hour" when the hinter shows that "fica" means "stays, is kept, remains"?

[Carrie528533]

I put 'remains in the oven' and it didnt accept it. I dont see why.

[JULIOCUBICHE]

I said the cake is kept an hour in the oven. Why is this not correct?
