Selamat sore

Good afternoon

意味

A greeting used from 3 PM until sunset

🌍

文化的背景

The 'Mandi Sore' (Afternoon Bath) is a cultural institution. Greeting someone 'Selamat sore' often coincides with the time people refresh themselves after a hot day. In high Javanese (Kromo), 'Selamat sore' becomes 'Sugeng sonten'. Using this in Central or East Java shows extreme respect for local traditions. In the capital, 'sore' is synonymous with 'macet' (traffic jams). 'Selamat sore' is often the first thing said when finally arriving at a destination after a long commute. The end of 'sore' is marked by the Maghrib prayer. The greeting 'Selamat sore' effectively ends when the 'Adzan' (call to prayer) is heard. In Bali, 'sore' is the peak time for tourists and locals alike to gather at the beach for the sunset. 'Selamat sore' is the soundtrack to the golden hour.

💡

The 3 PM Rule

Set an alarm for 3 PM for a few days to remind yourself to switch from 'siang' to 'sore'.

⚠️

Don't Forget the Title

Always add 'Pak' or 'Bu' when speaking to someone older. Just 'Selamat sore' can sound too abrupt.
