"今天下午你们想干什么？"

Translation: What do you want to do this afternoon?

[vYxR8]

"What do you want to do in the afternoon" should be accepted

[curli_kyoo]

Using 今天 specifically makes it this afternoon (today), not just any afternoon

[Handrisuselo]

Yes, I really agree with you.

[AliskaTen]

2 years ago, they they still haven't accepted this option!

[DerGoldmann]

So does "做什麼“ mean the same thing as “干什麼“?

[AlecChampaign]

From what I can tell, 干 has a more negative connotation. Otherwise, 干 and 做 are interchangeable.

[Heidi453404]

I got the answer wrong and they said the correct answer was :What do you guys want to do today afternoon? now THAT makes no sense...maybe what would you guys like to do THIS afternoon or IN the afternoon... sigh.

[Kieran-Moore]

What'd you like to do this afternoon.....should have been accepted as an answer

[talk2dream]

I used will instead of would, and got it wrong: "What will you do this afternoon" Could we accept this one?

[ASZ18101849]

It may have been marked wrong because of 想, which means "want" or "think".

[raydpratt]

You raise a good point. Pimsleur's Mandarin audio course presents xiang3 as "would like," (not just 'like') or as "think," depending on the context. I was going to input the Chinese characters in a better post, but my input method, Intelligent Pinyin, could not find xiang3. That is a common word, I assume, so it is disconcerting. Does anyone have better luck with some other input method for Ubuntu Linux 18.04?

[TarGrrrl]

Speaking of which, I tried the more literal "what are you thinking about doing this afternoon?", which is perfectly acceptable colloquial English and makes sense in this context, but -- no dice.

Translate chinese interrogative statement to english interrogative statement is very hard

[Iwilleatyouall]

I think the way she says 下 sounds a lot like 上. Maybe it's just the bad sound on my computer.

[linda437018]

How can "What would yo like to do this afternoon?" be wrong??

[Gelukservaring]

Yo mama may be fat, but it is still not good English.

[ASZ18101849]

"What would you like to do this afternoon?" I'm not sure how that's poor English.

[djimenezu]

Shouldn't "what do you want to do today's afternoon?" Be ok? English is not my firts language...is it wrong or just weird?

[AlecChampaign]

"Today's afternoon" sounds very strange in English. "This afternoon" as in, "this week" or, "this month" sounds much better. Although I don't think it's grammatically wrong, I must emphasize that no-one would ever say it like that.

[Albane794319]

I think they translate it that way to get use to Chinese sentence structure..?

[Karina343144]

Why not "today's afternoon", instead of this afternoon?

[RudyPanges]

“Today afternoon you would like to do what?” should be accepted

[HelenWalte14]

Couldn't it be "Do you want to do something this afternoon?"

[Ekrem_G]

"you guys" is not even proper English.
"what do you want to do this afternoon?" is the correct answer

[Iwilleatyouall]

[Handrisuselo]

What do you guys want to do today in the afternoon?
This is also TRUE.

[roman2095]

Native English speakers would always say "this afternoon" instead of "today in the afternoon", so I assume that is why the latter is not accepted.

[johnwallaceone]

I feel like I am hearing the Chinese word for Hong Kong here. Am I wrong?

[LeiFeiRalf]

You are wrong, sorry!
The audio says xiang3gan1. Hong Kong is xiang1gang3.
As well as muddling up the tones, gan is more of an A sound, gang is more of an UH sound.

[NatalieDju]

Instead of guys previously the correct answer required 'you all' which is very American.

[Lucas75926]

"What you guys would like to do this afternoon?" is also correct?

[Iwilleatyouall]

Should be "What would you guys like to do this afternoon?" or "What do you guys want to do this afternoon?".

[NatalieDju]

There are other answers which are valid for so many of your phrases. For instance this one: this afternoon what do all want to do?
