"Lubisz noc?"

Translation: Do you like the nighttime?

[EllisColli5]

Yes, I am a vampire.

"You need the article 'the' here"

Can someone explain why? I've reported it since it's not necessary in English, but I'm curious.

Lubisz noce/wieczory?/Lubisz porę nocną/wieczorną? - Do you like the nighttime?

[sirwootalot]

Is there a separate word for "nighttime", or does that word also translate as "noc"? Because if it does, then this sentence totally makes sense.

[freyka]

Yeah, "noc" can be both "night" and "nighttime"

[Tetyana-Kolysana]

Why can't we use "a" instead of "the" here? "Do you like a night?" I definitely don't understand "the" here. We don't speak about precise night, it's a question in common, isn't it?

[Jellei]

No, as I was told by a native speaker, 'the night' will be used here despite the fact that it's generally about the notion of "night" and not any specific night.

[Tetyana-Kolysana]

Thanks a lot!

[KVRMx]

Please add: “ You like the night?”

[richard224020]

Not natural

[Jellei]

OK.

[richard224020]

Not natural would never say that

Nighttime is better

[JoannaLesz11]

at night time it did "nighTTime"

[alik1989]

Both 'night time' and 'nighttime' are accepted answers.
