"What day of the month is it tomorrow?"

Translation: 明天几号？

[SeanLogan11]

this is so tricky.

[richard711603]

Agree. You do not know if they want you to ask with all the English words or ask in a shorter version, like 'what is tomorrow's date' (which seems to be what the characters are saying).

[Giorgio182480]

No, the characters here only ask about the day part. For "date", it should be ji3 yuè ji3 haò.

[Hei1long2]

Could I use the verb 是？

[richard711603]

I believe you could use '明天是什么日子‘。 Literally 'tomorrow to be what day'. I think 明天几号 is a colloquialism.

[ny4MS1qV]

With "明天是什么日子" you're asking if it is a day of significance tomorrow, but not asking for the date.

[BaiShann]

No. Mandarin expresses time and dates differently than English.

[PhilipLam10]

What day of the month is tommorow?

[Schallaven]

This should accept 明天几月几号？ as well.

[MiloshDurmitor]

I think so but it was not offered in the word bank

[AlmaLandri]

Someone knows why “明天星期几号？” is not valid? Thank you.

[Kayleyroseee]

星期 refers to the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday), whereas 号 must have a number, such as a date.

[iReadBastiat]

It's very hard to get the order right

[wayneabrah3]

We do not speak of the day of the month in English - when we mean: What is the date?

This question was not formulated by a native English speaker.

You could use this type of language when referring to the female cycle or Christmas or payday, but even in that context it is poor English.
