When does Good Afternoon become Good Evening?
Answers:
At five o'clock (PM not AM!!)
5pm
6ish
I always use Good Evening after 6PM
5 pm. the afternoon is generally over when people get home from work and eat dinner. you can even go 6ish.
when the sun is setting
Say neither, just say howya!
For us it is after having tea and biscuits around 5 pm
5pm or 6pm. After working hour, just greet people Good Evening, that's a pretty fun way to draw a line.
At about the same time that the 10th beer gets drunk and the chicks start to loose their inhibitions.in fact that could lead to a Good NIGHT!
I'd go for about 5pm ... although if you say 'quarter to five', rather than '4.45', it sounds a lot later and could be classed as in the evening :O)
at 6 p.m.
AT SUNSET
6 PM
I stop saying good afternoon around 4. I'll start saying good evening around 6. I just keep quiet between 4 and 6.
As 5.59 pm turns to 6.00 pm I reckon.
Any time before 12:00 noon is considered morning.
Any time from 12:00 noon to before 6:00pm is considered afternoon.
Any time from 6:00pm to 12:00 midnight is considered evening.
when old mother hubbard says so
after 5pm
Teatime
In the USA it is 6:00 PM but here it is after 5:00 or so.
I tend to say it after 5, but there is no set ruling.. I just switch to saying Good Evening as soon as I leave work.. its a closing for me lol..good question though and one I have never really thought about
After the working day has finished, so after 5pm
Good Morning is 3am til noon, Good Afternoon is noon til 5pm, Good Evening is 5pm til 9pm, and Good Night is 9pm til 3am.
It's when you have popped home for a quickie at lunch time and it's been so good that you just keep going and forget to go back to work, that's when a good afternoon turns into a good night.
When it is already dark, usually around 5 - 6 PM.
I would definitely say after 6
i always say it after 6.
at 6 pm matey
Evening starts at 6pm.
USALLY 5pm
