A habit is some thing or act which one does consistently. Therefore, "I ALWAYS brush my teeth 3 times a day." should be accepted.

Literally translates to "My brushing habit is three times daily."

A note for the Chinese team:

Duo currently proposes "I am used to brush my teeth three times a day".

That's not correct English. In the phrase "be used to", the "to" is prepositional, not infinitival, and what follows it should be a gerund.

The correct sentence is "I am used to brushing my teeth three times a day".

(This is different from "I used to brush my teeth three times a day", which refers to something that occurred in the past. In that case the verb "be" is not included, and the verb following "used" is in the infinitive.)

I am used to brushing my teeth three times a day

How about "I usually brush my teeth three times a day."?

"i brush my teeth three times every day"

"my teeth brushing habit is three times every day" was rejected but I think it's ok

always report missing translations.

"My habit is to brush my teeth three times a day" should be accepted. The answer provided as a correction has a grammatical error: "I am used to brush my teeth three times a day." should be "I am used to brushing..." And frankly, "I am in the habit of brushing..." should also be accepted.

"My habit is to brush my teeth three times a day" should be accepted. It makes sense and is gramatically correct.

My habit is to brush my teeth three times a day?

The chinese sounds super unnatural

This sentence is awkward in Chinese by itself anyway.

What I was given as the correct answer: "I'm used to brush my teeth three times a day." is not English. At least it's not normal native English. We would never put it like that. We would say it like it is on this discussion answer: "I brush my teeth three times a day." And we don't need to mention that it is our habit. That's understood.

Hey guys Singaporean Chinese here. Another natural translation is "I brush my teeth thrice a day", hope the mods can accept it! :-)

"My teeth brushing habit is three times per day." should be accepted. I'm supposed to reword to "My habit for brushing teeth is three times per day." per the suggested answer, which shouldn't be necessary.

It is insanely frustrating that these translations are sometimes more literal to the Chinese and sometimes more idiomatic English, sometimes a combination of the two, and you have to memorize exactly the word order and oddities of each one in order to pass lessons and tests. I have quit and rejoined a few times now, and I realize it's always right around this lesson, the translations for which are terrible. (Nine in the mornings? No one says that.)

This comment was written when the correct translation was set to be "My teeth brushing habit is three times a day."

I do not agree with this translation. It might be (don't quote me on this, I am not entirely sure) grammatically correct, but it is an illogical sentence. The commonly accepted way to express this idea in English is to say that one's habit is brushing teeth three times a day. In most cases, phrases such as "three times a day" are used similarly to adverbs and are thus not used to describe nouns such as a "teeth brushing habit" (or at least, where I am from in the United States).

My answer is identical to the answer below but it's saying that I am missing a word, something wrong with the app

Also: every day, daily, per day

well, the Mandarin sentence is just wrong, no native speaker in Taiwan would put it that way. It does sound very China though. The grammar of this sentence probably borrowed from the English one. 我每天會刷三次牙 or 我每天都刷三次牙sound more natural.

"I have a habit of brushing my teeth thrice everyday" was rejected.

This entire sentence sounds just unnatural in Chinese.

If it's "I brush my teeth three times a day", it'd be 我每天刷牙三次. But since it's "我的刷牙习惯...", which indicates possession, it should have been "My (teeth) brushing habit)..."

I spend more time finding the accepted English wording than learning Chinese. This is not the purpose.

Not to be negative but this is one of the most awkward sentences I have ever read in English. Most native speakers would keep it simple and just say "I brush my teeth three times a day".

Not natural English.

In the dental literature the term is 'tooth brushing' not 'teeth brushing'! Same as in 'coffee making' not 'coffees making', 'bread making' not 'breads making', 'house cleaning' not 'houses cleaning' etc

A better translation would be:

'I have the habit of brushing my teeth three times a day'

Fix the sentence. I am not here is discuss how it should be.

"tooth brushing habit" was not accepted. It is a correct translation. Please fix

This is an awkward translation.

I have the habit of brushing my teeth three times every day.

My habit is to brush my teeth three times a day. I habitually brush my teeth three times a day. It is my habit to brush my teeth three times a day.
