I come across a question which i would like to discuss with all the members over here at DP. I came across the question about the time wishes which is a greeting with the words like :- Good Morning Good After Noon Good Evening Good Night These are the words generally used as a professional time wishes on meeting someone. Question: Suppose the time is 2:00 Pm and i met with one of my senior officer can i time wish him with Good Morning?? I have heard about when leaving for the day we can say Good Night no matter what the time is. So like wise when i am meeting my officer in the afternoon but it's the first time in the day so can this be accepted or I have to greet him by "Good After Noon" as per the time. Please tell me the appropriate time wishes.
Good Morning - before noon Good afternoon - up until 5:00 pm good evening - 5-7 pm good night - anytime you are seeing/talking to someone for the last time in a day I don't think these are written in stone anywhere. When in doubt just say "hello"
btw he is talking about his Senior Officer I wonder anyone would use that greeting for a Senior Officer
Yes it's for the official greeting and to the person who is senior to me in designation. Please let me know.. waiting for any response !!
He seems to only say about his exchange offer and found this thread for that in the time wish he has introduced link exchange publicity for his site.. But don't forget to answer the question...
Still waiting for the appropriate answer which can be used as a standard wishing. Hope to get the answer from the members over here!!
When you are seeing your higher officer for the first time in a day (even when the time is 2.00pm) you can wish him good afternoon. There is no no need to worry that you are meeting him for the first time on that day and planning to tell good morning. It may sound foolish when you say good morning when you meet him for the first time during evening hours. In that case, wish him a good evening -Dairyman
