"What will you do the day after tomorrow?"

Translation: 明後日は何をしますか？

[kai19154]

Asatte, nani wo shimasu ka?
The day after tomorrow, what (direct object particle) do (question particle)

[ThrashCaptain]

You forgot the subject market.
Asatte wa nani o shimasu ka
明後日は何をしますか

[EricPooley]

It now (level 4) includes a card for 「明後日」 but pronounces it 「みょうごにち」.

[mr.PQR]

Myōgonichi and Asatte are both correct pronounciations. I think Asatte is more common though.

[Kana332264]

This is an alternate, but correct pronounciation.

[nyientsweety]

So how can wr pronounce?
あさって or みょうごにち ??

[iinalexandra]

Is は necessary here?

[Ishana92]

it seems it is not

[pedrom.9]

If you don't use WA it can be interpreted as " The day after tomorrow, what will you do?" (With the comma).
Same meaning, different way to do it

[Alan946894]

Strictly grammatically written and spoken Japanese probably a yes, spoken Japanese nope.

[Alan946894]

2020.4.24 in the spoken case, the を can be dropped as well

[Scott139050]

The intro to this lesson said that was optional then this fails you if you miss it off

[Jekahog]

It showed it as 'Another Translation' .. So I guess yea

[BradSanchez]

Why am I not allowed to use「 明後日は何をする？」

[mr.PQR]

しますか and する technically both mean "what to do", but Duolingo prefers to teach the polite version instead of the casual one. The latter can be learnt later more easily if needed.

[JSnow20]

Is 明後日には何をしますか acceptable too? If not, why not? And if so, what's the difference?

Thxツ

[TyrantRC]

明後日【あさって、みょうごにち】

[CasMan_YT]

Sorry but why was the wo needed?

[Lexi_Khan]

Because 何 is the direct object, which を marks.

[Kana332264]

Well, why was "was the" needed in your sentence?

[Atsuki-Yuri]

So.....what is the difference between 明後日 and あさつて

[Diego830359]

あさって = asatte
あさつて = asatsute

[EricPooley]

Other than the typo. They are the same word expressed in different forms.

[AnasBombat]

Is を necessary here?

[Kana332264]

Yes. をしまる "will do".

[Koolstr]

Why is putting 何を before あさっては not accepted?

[Kana332264]

Generally speaking temporal forms take priority in sentences in JP, but i don't see why it wouldn't be unacceptable, it's just sounds a bit off.

[inigobis]

As far as I know, the を element has to appear always immediately before the verb

[Andrew739751]

明日は何をしますか?
(Myounichi ha nani wo shi masu ka?)

Maybe im wrong in some way, but i I thought that this answer should have been accepted, did i do something wrong? Should i report it?

[Swisidniak]

明日 is "tomorrow" "ashita / asu / myounichi"
you need 明後日 "the day after tomorrow" "asatte / myougonichi"

[ItsJustJanice]

I used 明後日 and that wasn't exepted either

[JacobStewa16]

Wouldn't accept the date and 'what' being the other way round

[Kana332264]

I'm not saying this is absolutely true, but as far as i've read, 何は is a really, really rare construct apart from direct questions about the nature of something and a couple of expressions listed below, and temporal terms (things to do with time, dates, hour) are usually at the front of the sentence

何はさておき : First of all, firstly

何はともあれ : In any case, either way

何は無くとも : More than anything else

[fads12Yu]

[Yemi.jr]

Asatte(The day after tomorrow), Wa(you) Nani(What) Wo shimasu ka(you do?)

And

Asatte, Nani Wo Shimasu ka

Are both accepted in this case?

[Atsuki-Yuri]

Can anyone please tell me what is the difference between 明後日 and あさつて

[Alan946894]

2020.7.9
One is written in 漢字 and the other ひらがな

[colin227594]

I used the kanji instead of spelling it out and got it wrong

[Hakuin3]

Thats very confusing, as wrong marked but it's not wrong.

[v1ctor17]

why is 明後日に何をしますか incorrect?

[Swisidniak]

に marks a specific unchanging point in space/time, which works similar to the English prepositions "at, on" showing the relationship between the noun and the verb,

明後日 is a relative time which acts as an adverb; like the temporal noun "day after tomorrow" in English. Words like "tomorrow, today, yesterday" are all dependent on the current point in time for reference, and their exact meaning changes depending on the current time so they can't be pinpointed with prepositions like "at, on" and in Japanese the particle に. (Today's yesterday is not the same day as tomorrow's yesterday or the day after tomorrow's yesterday)
You can do something "On Monday" or "On the 3rd of March" but never "On tomorrow" or "On yesterday", etc.

[v1ctor17]

Thank you! Now I get it.
