"Where are you tonight?"
Translation:Dove sei stasera?

I believe there is a slight error in the coding of the question where 'sei' (meaning 'you are' in this context) is being converted to the number 6 which in Italian is also 'sei'. The correct answer remains 'Dove sei stasera'.
I put "stanotte", as "stasera" would be this EVENING, no? (btw, for non-native English speakers, In English we don't seem to make as strict a distinction between "evening" and "night" as there seems to be in Italian- at least not in American English. In fact, I would only use "evening" in English in formal speech). I thought "dove sei stanotte" might be used in the context of "which hotel are you staying at tongiht"..? Grazie!
I'm from New York and live in Michigan. To me, evening implies fairly early, like 5 PM to 8 PM, and night implies later on, like 9PM until dawn, but there is no hard and fast distinction.
What is the difference between "stai" and "sei"? i wrote dove stai stasera and got it right.
They are different verbs. The first one is 'stare' and the other one is 'essere'. They have plenty of meanings but still one for each of them :stare=to stay; essere=to be.
Would "stai" be correct too? I read somewhere that "stare" is used for temporary things like location
I used "stai" and it was marked as correct. I thought it would be the only correct aswer, since, as you said, "stare" is used for temporary conditions.
apparently 'Dove tu sei stanotte' is wrong. Why can the 'tu' not be used?
I think it's right but maybe they would rather say "dove sei tu stanotte"?
I know it's 4 years later but to anyone who still wants to know, "Dove tu sei stanotte?" Would mean "Where you are you tonight?" It would be redunant because "tu" means "you" and "sei" means "you are" (or "are you" in the form of a question). You only need "sei" here.

So can someone explain whats the difference in mezzogiorno-pomeriggio, and stasera-stanotte ?
'Mezzogiorno' is literally 'midday' - mezzo meaning half and giorno meaning day. It is also known as noon.
'Pomeriggio' is 'afternoon'.
'Stasera' is 'this evening', but in English we usually say tonight. 'Stanotte' is 'tonight ' (as in 'this coming night'), notte being the word for night.
Also sono can be used in the io form. (Io sono and loro sono).
Io sono
Tu sei
Lui / Lei e
Noi siamo
Loro sono
Voi siete
I got a translation: Dove 6 stanotte?, and Dove sei stasera? What's wrong with Dove sei stanotte?
I keep getting it wrong because the "correct" answer is 'Dove 6 stasera' but im fairly certain it shouldn't be. Help
Is "dove ti sei stasera" totally wrong? I do not know, that is why i am asking.
Is "tu" and it's not necessary here, is redundant, dove sei stasera is correct.

I can only think DL is signalling us that "tu sei" means "you are" unless it is in a question, in which case "sei" alone means "you are" but "tu sei" is like "you you are". It's weird but how else can this rejection be explained?
Agreed. Stanotte is 'tonight', whereas stasera is 'this evening'. DL asked 'Where are you tonight?' NOT 'Where are you this evening?". The coders at DL need to lift their game!
