Recently I "Good evening" people, then they replied "Good afternoon" although we are in the same time zone.

What time does Evening takes place?

you want evening to start at 12 also no one can stop you.

When the sun set la

12.01 pm

5pm to 8pm

5pm.

Just want to be in sync with everyone, too bad it is not standardized.

This is a general answer, if we were to be specific on the hour, what time will it be?

No specific I think, last time when ppl invented the word also no specific time

Late- afternoon: 3-6 p.m. Evening: 6-9 p.m. Late at night: Midnight-6 a.m. Toward morning: 3-6 a.m.

25:00SM

It's not like we are having "daylight saving" tho

Maybe will just "good day" to people

LOL komen macam tak berakal.

You try google the meaning of evening, it says the period from sunset to bedtime.

Do you know our malay peninsula timezone is wrong and cacat. East and west malaysia very far apart but set to same timezone to "standardize".

KL 7.20pm sunset (which is very wrong), Sabah 6pm sunset.

Most countries 6pm already sunset.

So the best time for evening would be 6pm.

Senja tak da

I also heard that if it's night and u you want to greet somebody... It's good evening..

Good night is only if somebody wants to sleep.

afternoon 12pm to 6pm
evening 6pm-9pm
Night 9pm until wakeup
Morning wakeup to 12pm

Many Msians confuse, think evening = petang.

kenapa tengah hari ada 2 jam, tapi tengah malam cuma 1 jam? mana keadilan?

OMG THIS IS SO CONFUSING!

so far dont think I've seen/heard ppl greet Good Night when they meet
myself use good night when going to sleep for as a "good bye" to other ppl during the night

Nak cakap ko bodo, ko marah. Lipot.
Nak cakapko xberakal, ko marah. Lipot.

Tapi ko bole je sesuka hati panggil org lain xberakal. Mmg sampah masyarakat.

Good evening, anytime between 12 pm and 12 midnight, when you don't feel like saying good afternoon.

Good night, when you want to wish the other party goodbye or time to retire to bed.

Good morning, anytime between 12 midnight to 12 pm.

i consider 5pm as evening liao

tak berakal die die must quote blame mahathir sebab tak align 6pm dengan kegelapan.

banyak aje tempat lain yang pukul 6pm masih tak bergelap. ada tempat yang cerah 20jam. nak kena tonggeng hukum alam dan jam supaya 6pm die die wajib bergelap? siapa yang mereka boleh salahkan bila 6pm masih cerah?

When people go back home

Ko ingat saya seorang yang rasa camtu? Tgk, even dia pon rasa tinezone kito salah.

Ko ni plk amik contoh tempat di khatulistiwa lain buat pe? Saya compare dkt khatulistiwa kito ni dan asl time mehsia beza sbb musang tu yg tukar. Tu hakikatnya. Apa yang ko xfhm? Apa yg ko nk plotek?

it doesn't have to be mahathir.

you blame anyone lge anwar zahid najib hadi izzah wee for "6pm masih tak gelap" also i will call you out.

timezone ajer oun. kalau nak ikut hukum alam sepatutnya garis sempadan masa tu tegak dari utara ke selatan, bukan zig-zag ikut sempadan negara. asalkan malaysia buat semua buruk. tapi negara lain buat zig-zag tak pula dikutuk. malah tak layak quote jadi perbandingan ya?. china tu sebesar negara dia semua Beijing standard time melintas berapa banyak zon.

at school:
4pm: good afternoon teacher
5pm: good evening teacher

Dinner = evening

evening starts from teatime

I'll use it from 5 to 12am.

Good Evening, Sir.

Greeting
Good morning 6 to 12
Good afternoon 12 to 6
Good evening 6 to 12. When finish meeting, say good night

depends on the context when you use the term "evening"

in pure technical terms evening starts at sunset and ends when the sun is totally below the horizon. the exact time varies per day and location

in social terms, "evening" is throughout the night until you go to sleep. when you go for dinner at night say 9pm with friends you still say good evening when you greet them. you never say good night

when people saying evening to you then its evening

Depend on culture la. For us 5pm until sunset is evening.
For orang putih 6 until 9pm

"betulkan yang biasa" lol then the pagar / pegar makan padi one duwan to betulkan cause say biasa liao

Follow this boss. 3pm.

Don't la practice whataboutism.
X does not depend on Y.

Else we will never correct anything and everything.
He wants to correct X, you said why he never correct Y.
He wants to correct Y, you said why he never correct Z.
In the end nothing gets corrected because all corrections need to be done at some time until the task becomes enormously impossible without doins at the same time.
