"Good night."
Translation:Спокойной ночи.

спокойной ночи = goodnight (for dreams) and доброй ночи =have a good night (if someone is going to be doing stuff during the night, not sleep, so you wish them a good time, during the night).
sort of, but доброй ночи is a greeting and спокойной ночи is a farewell. Its contextual and kind odd for english speakers.
I"m native. Доброй ночи - farewell, Спокойной ночи - farewell, too. If you want to greet in the evening and at night - you say "Добрый вечер"
How come for "good" night it's "спокойной" ночи but for "good" evening and "good" afternoon it's "доброй"
Спокойной ночи = calm night. It's just the Russian way of saying good night.
In this case, it is. You are right in saying that it is not a word-by-word translation; but a word-by-word translation ("Calm night.") would be wrong here.
In English, you would say "Good night" as a farewell at night or when tucking someone in to sleep, and for that, you would use "Спокойной ночи." in Russian.

If you don't give us the context we can't choose correctly between скопойной and Добрый
It would be nice if the part of speech was noted in these exercises. It would greatly aid in learning.
You are wishing someone SOMETHING, the thing being the night (subject). I wish you 'what' / 'whom' (whom sounds strange but it is the correct pair of questions to ask in genitive, ex. I wish you a good girlfriend). The two questions indicate it is the genitive.
In other languages I know, the noun would be in the accusative. And aren't день and вечер in the accusative? Why is ночи in this funny case?
Correct answer with a typo. My cyllic keys don't have the little thing above certain letters.
й is on the very upper left side of the keyboard, its a separate letter from и. like n and ñ in spanish.

А почему не "Добрая ночь"? "Добрый день","доброе утро" но "доброй ночи? Я не понимаю...
Language settings and turn off default keyboard. Then scroll down for Russian.
For android you download the language under language input. As long as your phone isn't overly outdated it should be there, just needs to be downloaded and applied.
Hello, I am sure my translation is okay, but duolingo isn‘t accepting it. It Seouls be possible to „skip“ in cases like this. Thanks!
You should remove the thing that if you select the "спокойной" with the small с it's wrong
I typed, "Spokoynoy nochi" and it said it was wrong. I'm not sure what I should type.
Доброй ночи. Why do we need a special idiom and disallow other translations?
Me: Добрьй ноче Duolingo: You have a typo in your answer: Спокойной ноче Sure a typo lol
Спокойной ночи = я желаю тебе ( i wish you) спокойной ночи. Дательный падеж.
