AbbieLu Posted April 12, 2017 at 12:08 PM Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 at 12:08 PM I was reorganising a time to meet with my language exchange partner .We set a time and then she changed it to a later one giving me this reason 因为明天晚我要外出。I’ve always known to go out as 出去。Is there a big difference between them?

dwq Posted April 12, 2017 at 01:49 PM Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 at 01:49 PM 外出 is a little more formal and 書面語，and carries the nuance that the person is going out with a specific goal / purpose in mind. 出去 is more 口語。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted April 12, 2017 at 03:06 PM Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 at 03:06 PM 因为明天晚 .......... 出去 "going out in the evening" versus 外出 "going out for the night"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymoose Posted April 14, 2017 at 08:30 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 at 08:30 PM Am I the only one to find it odd to say 明天晚? I would say either 明晚 or 明天晚上. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
