A common greeting used in the evening.
خلفية ثقافية
Greeting shopkeepers is mandatory. It is considered rude to walk into a store without saying 'Bonjour' or 'Bonsoir'. Similar to France, 'Bonsoir' is used, but you might hear 'Bonsoir' used more casually in social settings. Very formal usage of 'Bonsoir' is common in professional settings. Swiss French speakers are very polite and use 'Bonsoir' consistently in all evening service interactions.
The 5 PM Rule
A good rule of thumb is to switch from 'Bonjour' to 'Bonsoir' around 5:00 PM or when the sun starts to set.
Don't be silent
In France, silence is often interpreted as rudeness. Always greet with 'Bonsoir' when entering a space.
