O.O should I not use it then? *confused desu*
Hm? o.o Well.. In French saying bonsoir ("good night" ), is a greeting like saying "Hi! Good to see you!" That sorta thing. But also in French saying bonsoiree ("good night" ) is a farewell, as in "I'm probably not going to see you until tomorrow, so have a good night! See you later! Sleep well!" etc. In English, saying "good night" is almost always a farewell like bonsoiree. I've never actually heard "good night" used as a greeting before myself, but someone might use it that way.. o.o However...saying "good evening" is usually a greeting like bonsoir. =3 Do...Do you understand what I mean? redface There might be something like bonsoir/bonsoiree in German, but I'm afraid I'm nowhere near familiar enough with the language to know.. redface
@,@ okay next time I better say sleep good? I mean Gute Nacht means that o.o even behind its like see you next day whatever too... but I never thought about that before *smile* When I say Good Night I mean have a good one, nothing more 4laugh
Really? It kinda looks like "good night".. o.o *asks google and goes German greeting/goodbye research* Yeah, it says gute nacht means "good night" too. Good night works in that case, like..tschuss. =3 I didn't see anything like bonsoir in German..although I did read something I did find kinda funny too. You might like it! ^///^

After arriving in Germany, I quickly realized something. Young Germans never used the greetings I learned in class. The only person who said Guten Abend to me was an old man in an ice cream shop who looked old enough to be my great-grandfather.
Is Guten Abend really that formal? o.o ... lol
But...French is a funky language, Nia, it's always following its own rules like English does.. redface I didn't mean to confuse you..I'm sorry if I did.. >///< It sounds like you're using "good night" right already! ^///^
...Guten tag! Omg! Where have I heard that before! It sounds so familiar! o.o
we are really talking here.. where so many ppl are redface
Na, it's kay süße.. as long as I don't hurt someone.. maybe it's how you see it? o.o'' Like I said I never thought about Gute Nacht as something like see ya .. or bis morgen... its a wish for a good night... redface but if it's better I will try to say schlaf gut, or wünsch dir eine gute Nacht.. *smile*
Hm~ think when they need a job, they say Guten Tag too in front of the person who will be later maybe the boss lol instead of Hey, or Hoi whatever is popular rolleyes Or when they visit first time the parents of their girl/boy friend.. I mean hey Alte(r) won't look so good.. lol
Good day? o.o Grüß dich... visit Germany and you will get a lot of Greetings.. don't think I understand what a Bayer says, or a Hamburger, when they use dialect. lol
That reminds me, when we visit Bayern long ago, as I was still in school redface ahem.. we were wandering around in the Village, trying to find the Restaurant Wastlhuber whatever... all ppl we asked answered, wastelhuber? Don't now... after a very long time finally we had luck .. we got the answer: Wastlbuber.. don't know... burt I now a Wastlhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuber... great.. where was the diff? rofl
Y-Yeah, you're right... redface
Peep! ^///^
A Bayer? o.o Oh, is that like a specific part of Germany? Oh, I understand. I feel the same way about some English accents. Some accents get so thick, it's like another language! o.o
Haha, maybe they just needed the inflection to understand? xd Er, inflection is emphasizing a specific part of a word.. redface
