Nigeria Police: whether morning ooo, evening and night na still morn sir...

hardewaih:
Good evening is used from 5-6pm to 11:59 pm.. Because saying good night indirectly means 'good bye'.. Imagine you want to discus something with someone at 9pm but you start with good night the other person may get confused coz you're mostly expected to go after saying 'good night'

Lol

Personally, I say 'good evening' from 4pm. The only time I say 'goodnight' is when I'm parting ways with someone that I'm unlikely to see again before next day.

All na grammar, foreign language . Our Yoruba language have different names for each part of the day Aro kutukutu or owurokutu ( early morning ) osan gangan ( mid day) irole ( late afternoon, early evening ) ale ( night) ,oganjo oru ( midnight) ,afemajumo ( early morning) but a borrowed language is difficult to interpret .

Greet Na greet o wetin consign me even at 11:59 i still dy greet goodevening

One is mgbede, the other is Abani.

We have only one Good Afternoon as from 12noon that's 12noon or 12 am, is Good afternoon
The from 1 pm is Good evening till 11 pm to 12 am.
That's what they told us oooo

Crixxx:
My evening starts from 4pm..
5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

so you will just go to someone's house, knock on the door and when he opens, you will just say "good night" and enter?

I had thought goodnight is said when you are leaving someone

Crixxx:
My evening starts from 4pm..
5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

What if you're just meeting person for the first time at 8pm?
do you tell them goodnight? considering the fact that goodnight is for bidding farewell.

Bjteensdes24:
Hello, please this baffles me as I wonder why most people greet one another 'good evening' when it is dusk (5pm or 6pm) and also when the night finally comes(7pm).

Anybody to explain that better is there any correlation between those two words? If yes, why? Cos dusk is still a bit of day

Anything after 6pm should have been good night, but if you say so you will look abnormal to people,
so let it be the way it has been

Crixxx:
My evening starts from 4pm..
5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

if u you go and visit someone at night 8pm. would u also say good night? like how will u greet them when I reached the house

I will use Yoruba , eka aro , eka san, ekurole, eka ale .

We don't believe in greeting when it is dark...who knows, you might greet a monster...I prefer to keep mute once it's dark.

I've not commented in a long while but I've got to say this;this is a very very educative topic..

Nairaland is gradually getting back it's former glory..We have been on this platform since 2008 so we can authoritatively state how it went down back in the days..

We don't struggle for Ftc no more..
We don't try to be like the dead meat seller following every topic..
We were active in the days when Seun Osewa was dishing out directives himself..But we were just observers..

I learnt of this site in Madonna University cafe on one of those boring days..It was so so educative like this..
God no go Shame seun

i am still wondering why "Good Night "is an orphan,used only at sleep time.

Tremple8v:
I will use Yoruba , eka aro , eka san, ekurole, eka ale .

Eka aro is good morning
Eka San is good afternoon
Eku irole is good evening


So why is eka ale good evening instead of good night whilst oda aro is good night.?

Crixxx:
My evening starts from 4pm..
5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

Lol, so once I call you I can just say "good night"?lol.

Crixxx:
My evening starts from 4pm.. 5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

then you're wrong

lemme shed light on this, once u said good night I.e u are saying u will both see in the following morning..


And from 5pm till 11: 59 pm is good evening unless u are heading home that you cant see that person again, that's when you say good night....

You can even say ur goodnight from anything 4pm once u know u aren't gonna see that person again that day...

We have good morning, good afternoon, good evening and finally good night

Doyin2:
In the morning: Good morning
Afternoon: Good afternoon
Evening. : Good evening
Night. : Good Night evening?


i am still wondering why "Good Night "is an orphan,used only at sleep time.

"Good night" can also be used to bid farewell in the evening.

English is a language with many clauses, no general rule/law

you know I was actually thinking of this topic today.

Oga u missed it, evening na from 4pm oh.



uote author=MrBrownJay1 post=89595073]its either good morning, good afternoon or good evening....and to many people, 5pm is early evening so they just use good evening (as they cant use the 2 others).[/quote]

Crixxx:

5pm good evening. 8pm good night..

So when someone knocks at your door by 8pm, you'll open and say, "good night"

SCAM ALERT- Fake Acess Bank CC I wish to report this username Pateffy's who sent me a mail through my nairaland account. so i checked my mail. i saw mail sent to my yahoo account that have my access bank acount details. immediately a confirmation message was sent to my phone with a code. i got a call from a number 07040502553 claiming to be access bank customer care demanding for the code that was sent to me. telling me stories of how someone is trying to login into my account. i suspected scam and cut the call. he called me several times. i didnt pick. so my true caller got the above name Pateffy's from facebook id as the caller. kindly Investigate this guy and punish him duly to save other nairalanders of falling into the guy sinister act. Thanks. Supermod help push to front page to prevent other Good hearted Nairalanders from Fall Prey to this sinister acts. Beware of PATEFFY'S

dayleke:
That is why I love my Yoruba language.
Good evening is "E Ku irole o " .

8pm greeting na "E kaale o ".

Here we go again.
What about the wrong side of Yoruba language whereby you tell someone good night (Oda'aro) around 1PM in the afternoon because you won't see the person again till the next day?
