Can I get that man's phone number? Lol

[igor.alvaro]

Who the hell is this guy?

[todji]

Nice work if you can get it.

Why is "He earns one million dollars per day" incorrect?

[gernt]

If it didn't get accepted, it's just not in the list, but it should be.

[AnastasiaStyIes]

Because he's not really earning it; he's profiting from the labour of the workers.

I don't really get why the 'de' is necessary.. Would it be correct among natives (colloquially) to exclude it?

"Win" still not accepted 05/12/14

[gernt]

Oct 1, 2014 not only was it not accepted, a note flashed saying "Here, ganhar means earn or gain, not win". Well, sure, winning a million dollars a day makes no sense. Since when is that a problem for DuoLingo questions? I think crazy constructions are used on purpose because they're harder to guess. Native speaker - can you help?

[BlueGamer07]

He wins a million dollars should of have been accepted. Whenever someone talks about salary in Brazil, they say that he "won" the million dollars.

Here is an example.
Bryan ganhou $363 reais da Ana Claudia.
Ele ganhou 1,000,000 da loteria!

The point is you could use ganhar in either winning something or earning/receiving something.

"he wins a million dollars per day" still refused (2018-06-01).

[442doBeograda]

Is "um" necessary in this sentence?

[RonWannaPlay]

On September 30 2019 'He earns a million dollars per day' was accepted.

[AnnarHolm]

Is: a day or daily correct? Or is it just only one correct translation?
