I have no problem with Selamat Pagi, it's between the hours of 12 midnight to 12 noon. How about Selamat Tengah Hari, Selamat Petang & Selamat Malam. What are the time zones that separates the three?. Forumners yang bijaksana tolong beri nasihat, hamba kat bangku sekolah tak beri cukup perhatian, di ikuti dengan ribuan terima kasih.

selamat petang from 5 or 6 till u want to sleep?
selamat malam before u sleep?

Malay petang starts at 1. Tgh hari only for 12pm. Malam is any time you want to sleep. I say selamatmalam at 5 when I go for nap

salam 1malingsia!

Therefore anytime between 12.00 noon to 4.59pm is considered Tengahari?

Well good morning, good evening and good afternoon. Wherever you are and whatever you do.

12.01am - 11.59am = Pagi
12.00pm - 12.59pm = Tengahari
1.00pm - 6.59pm = Petang
7.00pm - 11.59pm = Malam

Thank you

but hor, i go uk time 7 or 8 they also say evening

Tks. Meaning 12.00 noon to 1.00pm considered "Tengahari" and anytime between 1.00pm to 5.00pm is "Petang"? Ai .... how come when I wished my friendly pejabat pos master Selamat Petang at 1.15 pm and he jokingly corrected me that is should be "Selamat Tengahari"? Maybe he tried to pull a fast one on me.

Hebat. Thanks very clear now.

Because you only wish people good night when they wantto sleep..if no sleep then good evening

i think selamat malam is suitable for before you sleep. ppl said that here in germany

morning pagi.
afternoon tghhari 12-6
evening sampai malam
night right before tido.
