"Monday afternoon"

Translation: Lunedì pomeriggio

[UniqueScreenname]

Why no article?

[CBurgchardt]

Would it be proper to say Pomeriggio del lunadi?

[MatthewHal4550]

Searching google reveals both pomeriggio del lunedi and pomeriggio di lunedi are possible although I wonder if they mean the same or are as common.

[MelissaRose0699]

I used Pomeriggio di lunedì and it says it is wrong, but to translate it directly did not seem right.

Could you say "Lunedi sera"? I know a fair few Italians who use "sera" for what a brit would call afternoon.

[Teresinha]

Duo didn't accept "Lunedì sera"....1 year later.

[lmamag]

"Lunedì sera" would be Monday evening while "lunedì pomeriggio" is Monday afternoon

[jeslam1]

Why is it now important to use the accented i? It wasn't like that in earlier lessons!

[ygbkm13]

Yes, why is using the article "il" incorrect as in "il lunedi pomeriggio"?

[msanchez979084]

Midday and noon is the same.. And mezzo giorno means noon... I dont get why all of a sudden ... Its pomeriggio

[MarjoleinM248365]

Because the question doesn't state midday or noon, but afternoon

[FrancesDav3]

Has this got anything to do with imperatives?

[rjhunter]

No imperative verb here -- in fact, no verb at all! You could make an imperative sentence, like "Call me on Monday afternoon."

[Reza2103]

Why not : Lunedì sera?

[Farida7]

why i cannot use mezzagiorno?

[UniqueScreenname]

Mezzagiorno is specifically noon.

[rjhunter]

I think "il mezzogiorno" means a particular time of day, earlier than "il pomeriggio" but later than "la mattina".

[didre6]

Mezzagiorno is exactly 12 am
