This is tricky - "Can we take the subway to the hotel?" was rejected, but it is technically correct. But at the same time "会" also means "Will", a future tense construct. A better sentence would probably be something like "我们明天会坐地铁去酒店吗？ "
For the English "can", I think the Chinese should have either "neng" or "ke yi".
No, it is extremely strange to translate "我们会坐地铁去酒店吗？" to "Can we take the subway to the hotel?", because this means "Do we have the knowledge to take the subway?". 
If you want to ask in the sense that "Does the subway lead us to the hotel?", then it would be "我们能够做地铁去酒店吗？".
'Can' means several things. 会 only means one of them: 'know how to'. It is weird to ask, 'Do we know how to take the subway to the hotel?' So for this sentence, 'can' is a bad translation of 会 and we should use 'will' instead.
Now is accepted!
This is how I understood the sentence too. I hope "Can we take the subway to the hotel" can be accepted as a correct translation as well.
I disagree. This course is about learning the Chinese (Mandarin) language, not about all possible meanings a Chinese sentence can have in the English language.
It can have several meanings, such as the skill to do something eg 你会用筷子吗？ This is generally not asking if someone will use chopsticks or if there is the possibility they will use chopsticks, but rather whether they have the skill of being able to use chopsticks. 你会说中文吗？is also another example of where 会 is also used in this way of skill/ability I think in the example given "我们会坐地铁去酒店吗" will would probably be the most common translation. Given that it's in question form, I think " will" and " the possibility of something happening" are effectively the same question.
I have the same question. 会 has multiple uses, one of which is to represent "will." Another use is as you mentioned, that something is likely to happen. I do feel like this could be translated as "Are we likely to take the subway to the hotel?"
I agree with your translation, I think it is more accurate that the current answer given in DL.
His speaking 们 sounds like 吗.
I heard it many times over before deciding he is definitely saying it wrong. It helped that there was only 我们 as an option to start the sentence. (No other word starting with 我.
Good god can they please update the accepted answers? I'm sick of these language trees being immediately abandoned after release.
My answer "Will we be riding the subway to the hotel?" was marked wrong and the correct answer given is "Will we ride the subway to the hotel?". I made a report.
I guess: 'Will we take the underground to the hotel?" should be accepted too.
Actually subway, underground, tube and metro (and probably couple more) are all the same depending on the country. In London the transportation system is called underground and everybody refers to it as underground (or tube). If I wanted to play your game I would say that subway is an underground passage not an underground train.
What's the difference between a subway train and an underground train, beyond locale?
Could I say "can I take the subway to go to the hotel?"?
I'm trying to test out so I'm not sure what duolingo said the meaning of "酒店” was, but I put restaurant because that's what it also means. Can restaurant be acceptable?
Not quite, it has more of connotation of "hotel"
Native speaker from Taiwan here: I'm not entirely sure "酒店" is actually the translation for hotel, I always thought it was "旅馆." We use 酒店 for karaoke bars that older men go to...
It looks like it should literally translate as "alcohol shop".
And it does. The line between a pub and a hotel wasn't always so bright.
"Are we taking the subway to the hotel?" should be acceptable.
'Shall we take the metro to the hotel' should be accepted. 'Will we take the metro to the hotel' is a) unnatural and b) requires particular context to make sense.
Agreed, I would never say 'will we take..'. 'Will we be taking..' perhaps, but usually 'Shall we take..'.
"Will we take the metro to the hotel?" was also corrected to "Will we take the subway to the hotel?".
Not everywhere in the world uses the name "subway". Some use "metro"/"underground"/"tube"/"mass rapid transit (MRT)". "Trains" as a more universal term should be accepted instead.
Yep - Feb 2019 I just had the exact sentence with "underground" instead of subway, rejected.
But train is 火车, right? So 地铁 is specifically an underground train? (I agree "metro", "underground", "tube" etc should be accepted.
It's a No 'Go'.
Let me ask the question a different way. I am standing at a metro station on the west side of Beijing. I want to go to my hotel on the east side of beijing. I ask my friend "can i take the subway to my hotel?" How would you translate that to Chinese?
I'd got the impression that 地铁 meant underground (train) but Will we take the underground to the hotel? wasn't accepted. What's the Chinese for underground (train)?
I typed "Will we take subway to go to the hotel?" and was rejected. Are you serious??
You're missing "the"
Will we take the subway to go to the hotel?
The male audio for this sentence sounds awful. Reported it, July 2020.
will we be taking the subway to the hotel? any ideas why it was incorrect?
Ride is the same as take. People ride the subway.
Again and again the same problem: Once you accept only "use" once only "take" - this is not good! "Will we use the subway to the hotel?" should be accepted... - this is valid for all this sentences!
No, that is not English.
You can "get", "catch", "take" or even "ride" a metro train somewhere.
If you want to use "use" your sentence would have to be "Will we use the subway to get to the hotel" although I suspect that Duo might not accept that answer here.Come Heller high water…
• How can a U.S. Supreme Court ruling sound right yet be so wrong? The court on Tuesday upheld Michigan’s ban on using race in college admissions yesterday, which is expected to spur similar bans in other states. On the surface that seems like it would be a good thing – a level playing field and a color-blind society is the ultimate goal, right? What the ruling doesn’t account for, though, is that we are nowhere near being a utopian society where all people are equal and have been for generations. That’s why affirmative action is still needed and why Michigan voters were so terribly wrong back in 2006 when they approved a ban.
• And don’t give me that “will of the people” stuff. The will of the people is often wrong and bad laws persist for the simple fact it’s difficult to change them. This is one of them. Pretending everyone is equal in our society is absurd. Am I the only one left who thinks a rising tide lifts all boats?
• A new study says Michigan is one of the top five fastest warming states. I think I speak for everyone who barely made it through this winter when I say, “Good.”
• Please don’t write me global warming hate mail for that last item. I know global warming exists. I know it’s a bad, bad thing. I don’t want the Great Lakes to shrivel up and become the Just OK Lakes either. But when you’re up to your giblets in snow and you haven’t felt your toes in a month, it’s hard not to get a shiver of joy at the notion of it getting a bit warmer in this, the state that the sun forgot. Michigan could use a few palm trees, I figure.
• You’re going to send me hate mail anyway, right? Thought so.
• Detroit is one of 15 cities invited to bid on hosting the Democratic National Convention in 2016. Detroit’s pitch should include – but won’t – an offer of 100 free acres of land within the city to each delegate attending.
