意思
A farewell greeting used when parting at night or before sleeping.
文化背景
The 'bisous' (kisses) are essential. Family members usually kiss each other on the cheeks while saying 'Bonne nuit'. In Quebec, you might hear 'Bonne fin de soirée' more often if people are staying up, but 'Bonne nuit' is strictly for sleep. Greetings are very important. Saying 'Bonne nuit' to elders is a sign of respect before retiring for the evening. Similar to France, but the distinction between 'soirée' and 'nuit' is very strictly maintained in social etiquette.
The Bedtime Rule
If you aren't sure, ask yourself: 'Is this person going to sleep now?' If yes, say 'Bonne nuit'.
Avoid 'Bonne nuit' at 6 PM
Even if it's dark in winter, saying 'Bonne nuit' at 6 PM sounds like you're telling someone to go to bed way too early!
