The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.
— Cousin Woodman, from Swedish Proverb.
| Wikipedia: Afternoon |
Afternoon is the time of day from 12:00 (noon) to evening. Its use is absolutely literal.[citation needed]
This should not be confused with "after noon" (two separate words), which is a translation of the Latin "post meridiem" (p.m.) as used in the 12-hour clock, meaning a time of day from noon to midnight.
In Australia and New Zealand, the word "arvo" has the same meaning as afternoon.
