"Where are you tonight?"

Translation: Dove sei stasera?

[CiescaDonatti]

ummm, why is one of the correct answers "Dove 6 stasera"

[LachGall]

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'.

[ChillyGilly]

that's what I got too

[Signor_Beppe]

Yeah. Goofy.

[Elena18]

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!

[EntropyMan]

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.

[Espygur]

Evening is early night, at nightfall. Night is later, well into the night.

[nayrad]

Its the same in italian. Infact stanotte is accepted here as of 2/8/15

[EjStarks]

Not accepted

What is the difference between "stai" and "sei"? i wrote dove stai stasera and got it right.

[BPDimitrov]

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.

[deactivated user]

Would "stai" be correct too? I read somewhere that "stare" is used for temporary things like location

[QuackrsnCheese]

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.

[Mirokai]

Why "dove state stanotte" is not accepted?

[kevinmac200]

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

[GuerraAmanda]

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

[XxAlien98xX]

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.

[Claudio_Manofaro]

Why dove versus dov'è?

[julieremesova]

Dove = where
Dov'è = where is

[marc.libra]

So can someone explain whats the difference in mezzogiorno-pomeriggio, and stasera-stanotte ?

[benyscott]

'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.

[itsalwaysnabilah]

what is the diffrence between 'sei' and 'sono'

[izzix]

Sei is the tu form ("you are"), sono is the loro form ("they are").

[XxAlien98xX]

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

[Kaankndrol]

Is "dove ti sei stasera" totally wrong? I do not know, that is why i am asking.

[DanielMore368787]

Is "tu" and it's not necessary here, is redundant, dove sei stasera is correct.

[clleven]

In Italy, I do as the Italians do and shift to evening words after 3 PM.

[adrianvig]

Shouldn't it be "stanotte"?

[KateMcCabe4]

Dove tu sei stasera? was not accepted. Why?

[UbwFYffR]

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?

[EHKKOH]

tonight is stanotte!

[ZBUqeauC]

There is nothing incorrect about using the formal you - "Dov'e stasera?"

[smartFM]

Dove sarai stasera? wasn't accepted. it's OK no?

[Dania51]

I got a translation: Dove 6 stanotte?, and Dove sei stasera? What's wrong with Dove sei stanotte?

[DBosunga]

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

[nodelaheehoo]

6...

[RobertSche190725]

Eric Clapton

[Sharon.Montoya]

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

[Jan8Read]

Wack wack Ooops. Need to correct the 6

[rosanna.pi4]

Dove tu sei stanotte non é italiano

[GuerraAmanda]

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

[JustDo]

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.
