"i am going to the gym every day" I can use Present Continouse when the action annoy me, and everybody knows that most people go to the gym in order to lose their weight and it is very annoying. Please add:):):):)
Well, I guess you're right, but that's not enough to add it as we don't have context ;)
'Każdego dnia' is 'pinglish'. It should be: 'Codziennie chodzę na siłownie' .
Yeah, it's so 'pinglish' that it has more than 8 million results in Google. Sure, that's 1/3 of the results for "codziennie", but it really is a valid phrase.
Are you asking why it was only "almost correct"? Because then the answer is "you made a typo and glued 'day' and 'I' together".

no, i have not made a typo ( i probably have, but not this is important here- i think in the answer is a typo - but maybe i am wrong. I think the the almost correctI should be followed by a correct answer and i am almost sure that this is the usual routine
OK, there was indeed a typo in the 'correct answer', we fixed it. Thanks.
Chodzę is indeterminate, which means that it either happens regularly/habitually or aimlessley/without direction (like 'walk around').
Idę is determinate, which in most contexts means that it's happening at the moment. And it's always directional.
Hence we usually translate chodzę with I walk/go and idę with I am walking/going.
Here's a complete list of all so-called 'verbs of motion' which have this determinate/indeterminate distinction:

"Śiłownia" in my PL-ENG dictionary is "fitness." But I'll trust Duo that it can also mean "gym."
And until it showed me the English translation, I thought the sentence would be "I walk for fitness every day."
May I ask which dictionary you use? Siłownia definitely means gym and not fitness.
"na siłownię" (Accusative, I am going there, moving in its direction)
"na siłowni" (Locative, I am 'located' there)
I still don't understand why "Every day I go to the gym" is marked wrong. In English both sentences are correct.
Well, it's a slightly more unusual word order, so maybe it just didn't get added yet.
The intention was always to accept it, but there was a mistake on our side. Fixed now, it should work soon.
I guess you can, added. If I were to use it, I'd put it at the beginning of the sentence though (Co dzień chodzę na siłownię).
There's also one word "codziennie" and it seems more common to me.
Thanks, yes, codzienne came to mind just after I posted. I was thinking in general eg every hour, every time etc. So noun following 'co' always in nominative ?
