In the US, UK and many other countries where English is the second language, good night is a proper term for good night. In the Caribbean however, we use it as a greeting.
You use the Spanish phrase "Buenas noches" to say "good evening" or "good night" when greeting someone or saying goodbye in the evening or before going to bed. It's a polite way to wish someone a good night's rest.
Buenas noches (literally good nights). This means good evening when used as a greeting. It means good night when departing.
こんにちは (konnichiwa) is the typical Japanese mid-day greeting. It's literal meaning is actually "As for this day", but through language patterns has since become a greeting (think of how many terms in English have had their meanings changed over the years). Because of the time this greeting is used, it could be translated as "Good Afternoon" (and it would perhaps be more correct to do so in most situations), though it is most commonly translated as "Hello". However, the latter does not reflect that this greeting is not typically used outside of mid-day greetings.More Greetings:Ohayo - Good MorningKonnichiwa - Good AfternoonKonbanwa - Good EveningOyasumi- Good Night (Not equivalent to english's "Good Night" its a greeting said at night)You may say 'konnichiwa,' written: こんにちは
