晚上
You'll hear 晚上 (wǎn shàng) used all the time in China. It simply means 'evening' or 'night'. It's super useful for saying 'good evening' or talking about what you do in the evening.
It can refer to any time from sunset until you go to bed. For instance, you could say '晚上好' (wǎn shàng hǎo) for 'good evening'.
Many daily activities happen 晚上, like eating dinner or relaxing. Mastering this word helps you describe your daily routine.
It's straightforward and doesn't have many tricky uses, making it a perfect word for beginners to learn early on.
晚上 (wǎn shàng) means 'evening' or 'night' in Chinese. It's a very common word you'll use every day!
You can use it to talk about general evening time, like when you say 'good evening' (晚上好 - wǎn shàng hǎo). You can also use it to specify a time within the evening, such as 'tonight' (今晚 - jīn wǎn) or 'last night' (昨晚 - zuó wǎn).
It's important to remember that 晚上 covers a broad period, generally from sunset until bedtime. So, if you're making plans, be clear about the specific time!
When talking about time in Chinese, 晚上 (wǎn shàng) is the word you'll use for both "evening" and "night." Unlike English, which often distinguishes between the two, Chinese typically uses 晚上 to cover the period from sunset until bedtime.
You can use it in phrases like 晚上好 (wǎn shàng hǎo) for "good evening," or to say what you're doing, such as 我晚上看书 (wǒ wǎn shàng kàn shū) for "I read in the evening." It's a versatile word that simplifies time expressions.

§ What does 晚上 mean?
The Chinese word 晚上 (wǎnshang) is a noun that means 'evening' or 'night'. It's a very common word, so you'll hear and use it a lot, even as a beginner. Think of it as the period of time from sunset until bedtime, or even through the night. Unlike English where 'evening' and 'night' can sometimes be distinct, 晚上 often covers both.
- DEFINITION
- evening; night
You'll use 晚上 to talk about anything that happens after the afternoon and before the morning. This could be dinner, meeting friends, watching TV, or going to sleep. It's a broad term that's really useful for everyday conversations.
§ When do people use 晚上?
People use 晚上 for a variety of situations. Here are some common examples:
- To talk about specific times in the evening: You can combine 晚上 with numbers to specify hours, like 晚上七点 (wǎnshang qī diǎn) for '7 PM'.
- To describe activities that happen at night: For instance, you might say 晚上吃饭 (wǎnshang chīfàn) to mean 'eat dinner' or 晚上学习 (wǎnshang xuéxí) for 'study at night'.
- To wish someone a good evening or good night: While there isn't a direct equivalent to 'good evening' as a greeting in the same way English uses it, you can use 晚上 with other words to convey similar meanings, such as 晚上好 (wǎnshang hǎo) which is a common greeting, or 晚安 (wǎn'ān) for 'good night' when parting ways or before bed.
我晚上要工作。
Wǒ wǎnshang yào gōngzuò. (I have to work tonight.)
Here's another example:
你今天晚上有空吗？
Nǐ jīntiān wǎnshang yǒu kòng ma? (Are you free tonight?)
It's also common to use 晚上 to talk about daily routines. For example, if you want to say 'I usually read books at night', you would say 我晚上通常看书 (Wǒ wǎnshang tōngcháng kànshū).
§ 晚上 vs. 夜晚
While 晚上 is the most common word for 'evening' or 'night', you might also encounter 夜晚 (yèwǎn). What's the difference?
- 晚上 (wǎnshang): This is the more general and commonly used term. It refers to the time from dusk to dawn, encompassing evening activities and the entire night period. It's used in everyday conversation.
- 夜晚 (yèwǎn): This term is a bit more literary or formal. It specifically emphasizes the darkness and stillness of the night. You'll often find it in poetry, songs, or descriptive writing. In daily speech, 晚上 is almost always the better choice.
我们通常晚上在家吃饭。
Wǒmen tōngcháng wǎnshang zài jiā chīfàn. (We usually eat dinner at home in the evening.)
How Formal Is It?
"漫长的夜晚终于过去了。"
"我们晚上去看电影吧。"
"今晚儿咱们去吃烧烤！"
"小熊晚上要睡觉了。"
"你晚上去夜店吗？"
Le savais-tu ?
In ancient China, the day was often divided into twelve two-hour periods, and '晚上' would refer to a general period of time rather than a precise hour.

Comment l'utiliser
晚上 (wǎnshàng) is commonly used to refer to the period of time from dusk until bedtime. It can be used to describe the general time of day or to specify when an event occurs.
Here are some common ways to use 晚上:
- 问候 (Greetings):
晚上好 (Wǎnshàng hǎo) - Good evening (similar to "hello" in the evening) - 表示时间 (Indicating Time):
我晚上学习中文。 (Wǒ wǎnshàng xuéxí Zhōngwén.) - I study Chinese in the evening. - 搭配其他词语 (With other words):
今天晚上 (jīntiān wǎnshàng) - tonight
昨天晚上 (zuótiān wǎnshàng) - last night
明天晚上 (míngtiān wǎnshàng) - tomorrow night - 作名词用 (As a noun):
这个晚上很安静。 (Zhège wǎnshàng hěn ānjìng.) - This evening is very quiet.
A common mistake is confusing 晚上 (wǎnshàng) with 夜里 (yèlǐ). While both refer to nighttime, 晚上 generally implies the early part of the night (evening), often when people are still active or before they go to bed. 夜里 (yèlǐ) typically refers to the deeper, later parts of the night, often when people are asleep or when there's less activity.
For example:
- It's more natural to say: 我晚上看电影。 (Wǒ wǎnshàng kàn diànyǐng.) - I watch movies in the evening. (Rather than 我夜里看电影。)
- It's more natural to say: 夜里很冷。 (Yèlǐ hěn lěng.) - It's very cold late at night. (Rather than 晚上很冷, unless you specifically mean early evening.)
Astuces
Basic Greeting
The most common use of 晚上 is in the greeting 晚上好 (Wǎnshàng hǎo), which means Good evening. You can use it after sunset.
Time of Day
晚上 specifically refers to the evening or nighttime. It typically starts after the afternoon (下午 - xiàwǔ) and lasts until morning (早上 - zǎoshang).
Common Phrases with 晚上
Many daily activities happen in the evening. For example, 吃晚饭 (chī wǎnfàn) means to eat dinner (literally 'eat evening meal'), and 晚上睡觉 (wǎnshàng shuìjiào) means to sleep at night.
Before Bedtime
If you want to say good night before someone goes to sleep, you say 晚安 (wǎn'ān). This is different from 晚上好.
Combining with Days
You can combine 晚上 with days of the week. For example, 周一晚上 (zhōu yī wǎnshàng) means Monday evening, and 周末晚上 (zhōumò wǎnshàng) means weekend evening.
Future Evenings
To talk about a future evening, you can say 今晚 (jīnwǎn) for tonight or 明天晚上 (míngtiān wǎnshàng) for tomorrow evening.
Past Evenings
For past evenings, you can use 昨晚 (zuówǎn) for last night or 昨天晚上 (zuótiān wǎnshàng) for yesterday evening.
Duration of Night
晚上 can also describe a duration, like 整个晚上 (zhěnggè wǎnshàng) which means the whole evening/night. This is useful for talking about activities that last a long time.
Don't Confuse with 夜晚
While 夜晚 (yèwǎn) also means night, 晚上 is more commonly used in everyday conversation and greetings. 夜晚 often has a slightly more poetic or literary feel, or emphasizes the darkness of night.
Practice Sentences
Try making simple sentences: 我晚上看电视 (Wǒ wǎnshàng kàn diànshì) - I watch TV in the evening. Or, 你晚上忙吗？(Nǐ wǎnshàng máng ma?) - Are you busy tonight?
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
Think of 'wan' as in 'waning' light, like when the sun goes down, and 'shang' as in 'shining' starts for the moon and stars. Waning light, shining stars – evening/night.
Association visuelle
Imagine a big, round moon (晚上) slowly rising into the dark sky, surrounded by twinkling stars. Picture yourself relaxing in the evening or going out at night. Associate the character 晚 (wǎn) with the sun setting, and 上 (shàng) with things going up, like the moon or stars appearing.
Word Web
Défi
Try to use 晚上 in a sentence about your own evening routine. For example: '我晚上_______' (Wǒ wǎnshàng _______). Fill in the blank with something you do every evening. Say it out loud three times.
Origine du mot
Composed of two characters: 晚 (wǎn) meaning 'late' or 'evening', and 上 (shàng) meaning 'up' or 'on'.
Sens originel : The combination literally means 'on the late part of the day' or 'late period'.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic branch.Contexte culturel
When greeting people in the evening, Chinese speakers often say '晚上好' (wǎn shàng hǎo), which means 'good evening'. This is a common and polite greeting. Unlike in some Western cultures where 'night' can sometimes imply a very late or even dark and mysterious time, '晚上' in Chinese generally refers to the entire period from late afternoon until bedtime, encompassing dinner, evening activities, and relaxation.

Not really. Its main meaning is 'evening/night'. It's a pretty straightforward noun. Just master this core meaning and you'll be set for most conversations.

The phrase "过夜" (guòyè) directly translates to "spend the evening" and can be used interchangeably with "度过一个晚上" (dùguò yīgè wǎnshàng) in all contexts.
While "度过一个晚上" means 'spend an evening', "过夜" specifically means 'to stay overnight' or 'to lodge for the night', implying remaining somewhere until the next day, which is a more specific action than just spending the evening.
In ancient Chinese poetry, "晚上" is frequently used to symbolize a period of profound introspection or melancholic reflection.
Indeed, in classical Chinese literature, the evening or night often serves as a setting for quiet contemplation, sadness, or a deep sense of loneliness, as poets reflected on life, loss, or separation.
When referring to the time of day, "晚上" strictly denotes the period between sunset and midnight, excluding any hours after midnight.
While "晚上" typically covers the period from sunset to midnight, it can also extend into the early hours past midnight, especially when describing activities that happen throughout the night (e.g., '熬了一个晚上' - stayed up all night). It's not strictly limited to pre-midnight hours in all contexts.
