There is a song 今天不回家 (Today I am not going home)
Lyrics :
徘徊的人 彷徨的心 迷失在十字街头的你 今天不回家 为什么你不回家
往事如烟 爱情如谜 迷失在旧日情爱的你 今天不回家 为了什么你不回家
朦胧的月 暗淡的星 迷失在烟雾梦境的你 今天不回家 为什么 为什么不回家
心在哪里 梦在哪里 不要忘了家的甜蜜  迷失的人 不要忘了家的甜蜜
朦胧的月 暗淡的星 迷失在烟雾梦境的你 今天不回家 为什么 为什么不回家
心在哪里 梦在哪里 不要忘了家的甜蜜  迷失的人 不要忘了 家的甜蜜
家的甜蜜 家的甜蜜

The jealous people's heart is lost in the cross street, you don't go home today, why don't you go home, the past, the smoke, the love, the mystery, the old love, the one you don't go home today, for what you don't go home, the moon is dim star lost. In the smog dream, you don’t go home today, why don’t you go home, where is your dream, don’t forget the sweet and lost people at home, don’t forget the sweet moon of the home, the faint star is lost in the smog dream, you don’t return today. Why don't you go home, why don't you go home, where do you dream, don't forget the sweet and lost people at home, don't forget the sweetness of the sweet home of your sweet home.

Haha I thought of this song immediately!


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/twissstedsister

哈哈,谢谢!这个歌是很漂亮!

Who is the artist?

Wow xièxiè infinitely!

I wrote "I'm not going home this evening because I'm a workaholic and I don't have a life". It was rejected.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Anderson_Lu.

I wrote, tonight I'm not going home.

And duolingo said I was wrong. Can you fix this


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Kivolamuzikisto

"Tonight, I won't go home" was accepted (26.12.17). If yours was reported, maybe it's also accepted by now. If not - report it.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ScottSumne2

Maybe you need a comma. "Tonight, I'm not going home." I'm not sure though.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Rabea733910

Duolingo doesn't take punctuation into account :p


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/LLB----

Unless it is hyphens in French, or something. Then it bites you big time.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/diwei2

I had the same problem. I wrote "Tonight Im not going home." and it was marked as wrong, and it gave "Im not going home tonight." as correction.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Mariyammy

Next sentence should be: "我们昨天晚上做了什么?"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ChaosScroll

Lets get a room then :^)


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/IlTico

Would 我今天晚上不回家 also be correct?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Arac916494

This is my question as well


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Bob490546

Tonight I'm not coming home should be accepted


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AlexanderB1195

I said "This evening I won't return home."


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/charlie214596

Finally i learn the 回家 haha..this is my first chinese phrase i learn while getting drunk with chinese friends (because i cant drink alot...)


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Kilxerz

I put, "not coming home" instead of, "going". Please fix.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AmyLynJust

"I'm not going home this evening" should be added as an acceptable answer.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Dale_Craig

There is no way to tell if it's won't or don't or not in the context. All three must be accepted


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/LanKenNhan

I think "I won't be home this evening" should also be accepted


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ELIJAHSIMK

"This evening I will not be going home," should be accepted.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/jkhoruts

So mama don't stress your mind


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/sssserpens.caput

How do you know when the time phrase should go before the subject? It seems like it's pretty constantly the other way around


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/MasonSalda

I said "I do not go home tonight" and it told me "I won't go home tonight." Does the "我不" combination make it so I should say "won't" instead of "do not"?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/scsi8

My understanding of 不 is that it's a negator and is unrelated to the tense.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ScottSumne2

Right. 我不吃饭 - I don't eat rice 我不回家 - I won't go home.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Jim952908

I won't come home tonight?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/i_like_soccer

Me: I'm not going home tonight Duo: That is correct. >:) Me: uh wat


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ChristianInOslo

What meaning is implied here: I work night shift, so I only get home tomorrow? Or I go somewhere else? Or it is not meant literally : I get home but very late?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/hippietrail

It's open to many possibilities including those. None are especially implied over the others.

    it strange to see that 回 used as will not and not allow cannot


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/michaelswe593314

    You are not asking me to say what it means, you are asking me what do I hear.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/i_like_soccer

    I JUST GOT THIS ONE AGAIN PREVIOUS POST WAS FROM A DIFFERENT PROBLEM ARGH


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/LLB----

    Why is "Tonight I will not get home" wrong?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ViktorNemeth

    I won't be home this evening -- should be accepted.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Notmyrealn91190

    I'd say there is a significant difference between being and going though.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Gaspar594

    I'm not going to home tonight and I'm not going home this night should also be accepted


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Martiddy

    "I won't go back home" is also accepted


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/JohnMcLach9

    The previous question, I used going home and was marked incorrect, I visit the discussion and find a great explanation about square whirlpools meaning 'going back' then I'm immediately confronted with this....


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ritaalamino

    Why "Tonight I won't be coming home" was accepted?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ForelleFranz

    What is wrong with "this evening"?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/dunester

    Why not 我今天晚上不回家?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Cheyennenwa

    Can I say " Tonight I'm not going home?" Instead of this
