            It is not Sunday. The 'it' must show up. Otherwise the sentence is not corrtect

                  It should accept "It's not Sunday today"

                    星期日 is mainly used in writing or formal situations. 星期天 just sounds a bit more lively or casual.

                    I think my answer "It is not Sunday today" should also be accepted as correct.

                    It's not Sunday came up as incorrect! Come on Duolingo, what are you playing at!

                    Is 星期日 same as 星期 天, i.e. Do they both mean Sunday please?

                      Can someone help me pronounce the translation for Sunday? The audio pronounces it very quickly and I can't understand it easily.

                      It would be xīngqīrì in pinyin, hope that helps!
