Lunch is a meal taken between breakfast and the evening meal (howsoever called). It is used as a farewell when it is late, whether anyone is planning on going home or not. "Good night" does not mean "have a good sleep".
Midnight refers to exactly 0000/2400 hours, and the time just around it. Accordingly, it can be both morning and night (this being pretty much the definition of the small hours). It's pretty much always correct to refer to the part of the day when the light begins to wane as "evening". "Good afternoon" is only used after noon.ĭusk corresponds to dawn, and refers to the event of the sun setting.Įvening is variable in its usage, and is tied both to work schedules and the solar time. 1101 is not noon.Īfternoon refers to the time after Noon and before the Night. Noon refers to 12pm (exact midday) and the time just around it. The actual time is variable, although you will probably provoke a laugh from working people if you refer to any time after 7am in that way (and probably any time after 6am). Very early morning is sometimes known as "the small hours" (or any regional variant of those words). Morning refers to any time before noon, so 1am is still the morning.

My teacher never told us to use the word noon, and good noon seems never used by anyone. I would like to complete the list, especially the part after the morning but before the afternoon. You see, I've missed some parts of a day, I may be not correct on the time boundaries of each part, though. The meal during this time is called supper Night, maybe 9pm–11pm? However, Good night means "have a good sleep".Evening, maybe 6pm–9pm? The food for the evening is called dinner.Afternoon, maybe 2pm–4pm? People greet each other Good afternoon!.Noon, maybe 11am–1pm? The food is called lunch.Morning, maybe 6am–9am? The food for the morning is called breakfast.I have learnt these words so far, please correct me if I'm wrong:
