Ada lagi yang membingunkan bagi kita about penggunaan kata salam untuq Good Evening atau Good Night,mari simak sediqit penjelasan berikut ini :

2. Selain dari definisi kamus di atas penggunaan kata "evening" sebagai ganti kata "night" lebih bersifat formal. coba rasakan "sense" contoh yang di komparasikan di bawah ini:
Good night vs. Good evening How is your night going? vs. How is your evening going? Will you be coming tonight? vs. Will you be coming this evening?
3. kata "evening' dipakai mulai kira jam 6:00 atau jam 7:00 p.m/petang sampai kira-kira jam 10:00 atau jam 11:00 p.m. sesudah itu udah malem ghetto. jadi pakenya kata "night". misalnya begini yach.. coba rasanya bedanya... I am spending the evening with a friend. (Insinuates passing a few hours in the company of a friend.) I am spending the night with a friend. (I will be sleeping at the home of a friend.) Anda bisa mengatakan , "How are you this evening?" tetapi tak pernah ^_^ takkan pernah mengatakan, "How are you this night?"
4. saya akan mengatakan bahwa perbedaan utama antara keduanya bahwa kata "evening" mengacu kepada waktu sebelum anda mau berangkat tidur dan kata "malam" dipake setelahnya. misalnya: "what are you doing this evening?" dan anda akan mengatakan "Good evening" tetapi anda akan mengatakan "It was the middle of the night" karena aku ga iso turu ^_^ "I couldn't sleep last night".
