"我昨天很晚回家。"

Translation: I went home late yesterday.

[Necro50]

昨天 means yesterday. Last night in Chinese is 昨晚.

[MaryRynsbu]

Exactly.

[einarengvig]

回 implies a return. So "return" or "came home" should be applicable as well.

[Bill496592]

Your answer is much more accurate than the given answer "went home" (which would assume to use 去 not 回)

[Kristen490616]

Why is "I came back home late yesterday" wrong?

[Cellopenguin]

To come is 来, not 回 (to return) or 去 (to go) 。It makes a difference in Chinese although it doesn't in English.

[hippietrail]

Shouldn't this also accept "I went home late yesterday"? Or does 晚 mean "late at night" and not simply "late"?

[Celticfiddleguy]

You're exactly right, and now that's the "standard" translation.

[thegallaway]

Does not specify "last night" late yesterday should be acceptable.

[SteveCarre3]

晚 means late at night, not just late

[juanjochasen]

I got wrong I went home late yesterday

[SusieODrangus]

Good god, I am about to stop using Duolingo for Mandarin at this point. These translations are absolutely terrible and only accept about 50% of my correct answers.

[JuliaAlicj1]

I came back home late yesterday instead of went should be accepted too.

[Arpad737071]

Is there a way to distinct between

I went home late yesterday. (e.g. I stayed at work till late)

and

I returned home late yesterday. (e.g. I left my workplace at usual time, but then spent my time elsewhere )

[Franz665746]

why is there no 了 in this sentence? The speaker is describing a past and completed action, so shouldn't they have to put 了somewhere?

[marianluffy]

Why cant i put 昨天 first and then 我？

[SteveCarre3]

you can, I think

[fallingleaf_271]

"I returned home yesterday late at night" Should be accepted.

[ElenMiao]

Pronounciation of "hui" isn't quite right

[NathanRasm]

I swear he said 晚 as something like "wai" or "waing"

[xnaut]

Would 我昨天很晚回家了 be acceptable?

[WIMDispa]

Why not: "I CAME home late yesterday" ?

[WIMDispa]

Why Duolingo says: "WENT home" in stead of "CAME home" ( it is Duolingo's own translation.

[melchor208888]

"I returned home late yesterday.“ should be correct.

[_kkaebsong_]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[codewritertom]

"I returned home late last night." and "I got home late last night." are also correct answers, please fix (Also fix the Chinese to indicate last NIGHT).

You poor people are going to have SO many corrections to make to your answer database. Hopefully there's an automated process for all that, 不然, 太辛苦了...

[SteveCarre3]

晚 means late at night, so last night is implies. to say 昨晚很晚 would just be redundent
