My spouse and I just had one of those “wait your brain works HOW?” exchanges, and now I am BURNING TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS FOR OTHER PEOPLE:
Fellow speakers of this feral bastard language (English), rb and tell me in the tags: what is the delineation for you, if any, between evening and night?
Evening starts at 5pm. Night starts when the sun is set, so it changes with the season. But! When speaking to a person, I only say "good evening" in greeting and "good night" in farewell (if I use either) after 5pm.
Night begins when I feel the need to apologise for messaging someone so late. So 9pm probably.
