"It is necessary for us to have fun tonight. "
It has a similar meaning but it is not the direct translation.
"gerekli" is an adverb and an adjective.

Thank you for your fast reply. I found that gerekli is an adjective, is it an adverb too? Is it right to use gerekli instead of gerekiyor in this sentence, and is there any difference between it is necessary for us and we need to?

Yes, gerekli is an adjective and also an adverb. You may use gerekli instead of gerekiyor for this sentence. It would be a proper sentence. However it would not be the literal translation of the given sentence.
This was marked wrong: "Bu gece eğlenmemiz lazım". It would seem that since the two words mean and are used the same (gerekiyor and lazım) then Dup should make every example acceptable when either can be used.
Me too, with the exception that I placed Biz at the start of the sentence. It was not accepted.
Nope, the verb "gerekmek" doesn't take the accusative case nor does it take personal endings. Think of it like the verb "to be necessary." You cannot say "We are necessary the having fun tonight." You would rather say "Our having fun tonight is necessary/It is necessary that we have fun"
i agree, especially if you understand "night" as coming after "evening." if you say, "let's do something tonight" in english, you really mean, "let's do something this evening," not, "let's do something after midnight." we just don't typically say "this evening" anymore in north america.
As far as I know, what you wrote would be more like "we should have fun tonight"
