"我们在八楼。"

Translation:We are on the eighth floor.

8th is the same as eighth!

8th accepted now, 8 - still isn't

What is the difference between 层 and 楼?

层 is a measure word and 楼 is a noun or a measure word.

I'm on the fifth floor = 我在五楼 (5th floor is a place/noun)

My house has five floors = 我的家有五层(楼). (5 floors is a count/measure)

In google translate if you put 五楼 it treats it as a noun (fifth floor), but 五层 is treated as a count (five floors).

Same thing but different usage. 樓 uses more often.

你在幾樓=你在第幾層

這棟建築有幾樓=這棟建築有幾層樓=這棟建築有幾層

In my opinion, just use 樓 is easier.

Dude, why would you use traditional characters here?

Where do the Chinese start counting floors? Is the ground floor number 1, or is it the one above it?

Still 8th is not accepted? Anybody home at duolingo? This is pissing me off, especially on the app where I keep losing lifes because of English.

Accepted now - Dec 19

This pronunciation exercise is great!

Why not 8? You accepted numbers before!

We are on floor 8 should be accepted.
