Significado
Referring to the evening of the current day.
Contexto cultural
Romanians often make plans 'azi seară' at the very last minute. It's common to receive a call at 6 PM for a 7 PM meeting. In cities like Bucharest or Cluj, 'azi seară' usually implies going to a 'terasă' (terrace) during the summer. News anchors will use 'în această seară' to sound professional, but the weather person might slip into 'azi seară' to sound more accessible. The main meal is often in the afternoon, so 'azi seară' might just involve a light snack or 'gustare'.
Drop the 'in'
Never say 'în azi seară'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers. Just say the phrase directly.
Evening vs. Night
If your plans are for after 11 PM or midnight, use 'la noapte' instead of 'azi seară'.
