Good evening.

意味

Formal evening greeting.

🌍

文化的背景

The Dutch are very precise about time. Using 'Goedenavond' at 5:55 PM might get you a correction or a playful 'Het is nog middag!' In Flanders, 'Goedenavond' is also common, but you might hear 'Goedenavond' used slightly more formally than in the Netherlands. The 'Achtuurjournaal' (8 o'clock news) is a national institution. The anchor's 'Goedenavond' is the signal for many Dutch families that the formal evening has begun. Saying 'Goedenavond' to neighbors when you see them in the evening is considered essential for being a 'goede buur' (good neighbor).
