    Why not "peut-être quelque jour" ?

      "peut-être quelques jours" to be used only in plural and meaning: "maybe a few days"

        Why is my answer not correct: "Peut-être un jour or l'autre ?" Is there any difference between "un jour" and "un jour ou l'autre"? Please explain me.

          "un jour" means someday, an unspecified date in the future .http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/someday

              I think that neither is right.

                Don't forget about 'neither' Sitesurf :)

                I hope you don't mind me mentioning.

                          masculine "un an" is a unit of time measure. feminine "une journée" is a 24 hour duration.

                            "Un beau jour" also means someday? That was the corrected solution.
