: Re: How do greetings vary with time of day? A character in a story meets another and the author is keeping time of day, as in "the clock was indicating 12 noon". How do the characters greet

This is heavily dependent on language, culture and subculture.

As an example, the standardised usage in the Swedish military is to use (this is, alas, translated to English to be somewhat comprehensible) "good morning" from 06:00 to 10:00, "good day" from 10:00 to 18:00, "good evening" from 18:00 to 22:00 and "good night" from 22:00 to 06:00.

However, for something approaching "modern day english-speaker", one of "hello", "hi", "what's up" or similar would probably work well.
