"My father gets up at 6:30."

Translation: 我的爸爸六点半起床。

[Edmund-]

It should be permissible to omit the particle 的 when referring to family.

[LazyEinstein]

Correct. The Duo web notes teach users this. Report it.

EDIT: One may now omit 的. “我爸爸六点半起床。” is now accepted.

[fontaine.h]

此處應該省略「的」。

[Ritte25]

Can 起床 and 起来 be used interchangeably in this sentence?

[Gabrielle145359]

I don't think so. 起 means rise. 床 is bed. 起床 means to get up from bed (literally "rise from bed".) 来 means come. 起来 means "come up", often used in abstract phrases like 想起来 ("thoughts come up"=remember) and 看起来 ("looking brings up"=looks like/seems like)

[hippietrail]

Surely it should also accept 六点半我的爸爸起床?
