: 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

@Lee1909368

The character will be probably as confused as you, unless they spend a good while to think over the meaning of the greeting. But just in case they paused to think it over...

A greeting is wishing the upcoming time to be good. If you say "Good morning" you don't state "this morning is good". It's a shorthand for "I wish you to have a good morning".

Since at noon the morning is just ending, there is no point giving wishes for such a short time. You wish good afternoon which has just started - your wish will last for longer.
