the city never really sleeps
a city stays lively at night
A city never really sleeps when people are still out and places are active late at night.
Hear it in real life
Can we get something to eat after midnight?
Of course. The city never really sleeps.
I enjoy living in Seoul because the city never really sleeps.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: The city never really sleeps itself at night.
Say: The city never really sleeps at night.
The expression describes a city staying active at night and does not use a reflexive pronoun.
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
the city never really sleeps; this city never really sleeps
Your turn: say it out loud
I enjoy living in Seoul because the city never really sleeps.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
the city never really sleeps
a city stays lively at night
“I enjoy living in Seoul because the city never really sleeps.”
