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.

apparently 'Dove tu sei stanotte' is wrong. Why can the 'tu' not be used?

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.

I think it's right but maybe they would rather say "dove sei tu stanotte"?
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.

'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 keep getting it wrong because the "correct" answer is 'Dove 6 stasera' but im fairly certain it shouldn't be. Help

I put tu in brackets and it was marked wrong. I don't think that's fair.

Yeah, but why not? Is there any rule about questions that we're missing?

In a question the verb and pronoun switch so that "tu sei" becomes "sei tu". English also does this with the verb to be in a question; "you are" changes to "are you". Hope that helps clear things up.
