People in the US do say good afternoon. I've heard it countless times in my life. Though admittedly it
is mostly used in business settings towards customers, or medical, but I've heard personl use as well.

Eli was not referring to English, which is his second language, not being native born to the States.

Maybe he hates afternoon so there can never be a good afternoon.

 

[NightTwister]

Good morning and let's all make a Nesspreso.
I think @NightTwister had a nesspreso machine too.

Espresso is a universal word too.
It's funny to see the spellings in different languages like "ekspress" "espreso" but everyone knows what you're talking about.
Like you could be in China and have no idea what they're saying and then someone says what vaguely sounds as "espresso" in Chinese and then you jump right in.
"Hey i know that word. ESPRESSO. GIMMIE ONE"

Un caffé espresso, per favore!

Hey my friend, as @Magenta said, i was talking about the Albanian language. "Good afternoon" is just not something we say. It sounds awkward and weird.
In English, like you said, it's typically said in business settings. I've heard it in meetings at work from time to time.

I'm trying to think of some awkward English phrases that nobody says but i'm drawing a blank right now. Maybe something to do with a British accent but that wouldn't do it either because it's British. If i think about it, i'll post it.
I am thinking something like "henceforth". Who says "henceforth" in real life?

Henceforth, may you have good afternoons.

Forthwith has a much nicer ring to it!!!.

I am being forced to learn modern day American teenager language.
Let's see how I'm doing...


1. Good morning – GRUNT
2. Good afternoon – UHGG
3. Good evening – MMGROAN
4. How are you – EH
5. Excuse me – you hear a THUD as they push past
6. Welcome (as in you're welcome)– usually no sound, usually just tilts head back a little, lifting chin into air. Might hear a "yeah"
7. Thanks- maybe get a smile from them and might hear an unintelligible sound
8. I love you – this is usually not spoken and you must know how to read body language and know what looks their eyes give
9. I miss you – this is another unspoken, body language only, see the look in their eyes

I am learning that with some patience, love and repetition they (teenagers) can be taught to say:

1. Good morning – morning
2. Good afternoon – 'sup?
3. Good evening – 'sup?
4. How are you – 'sup
5. Excuse me – scuse me
6. Welcome (as in "you're welcome")– yup
7. Thanks- cool
8. I love you – in quick mumbles "Iloveyou"
9. I miss you – in quick sad mumbles "missyou"

I am hopeful that with a little more time, patience, and love these phrases will be learned to be said properly 🤞

Since reactions are not showing up at all I cannot select one... therefore I shall henceforth and forthwith quote you just to LOL

Ah ok. Your profile said you were in the US, so I went based off of that. Thanks for the clarification. 🙂

Yeah, i've been living in US for almost 30 years now but as the saying goes 'You can take the Albanian out of Albania, but you can't take Albania out of the Albanian'.

 

[Coll2-8]

Sounds like German

The first part is standard German (also called Hi-German) like it is spoken in Germany, and the second part is Swiss-German. The funny thing about that is, that the German people don't understand Swiss-German when they visit Switzerland. So we have to switch to standard German, when we speak with each other. In Switzerland standard German is only used for things like books, newspapers, letters, websites and the news in Radio or TV, but it isn't the spoken language in normal daily life.

Sure you can...Al...ian...you just have to...ban...it.

5. Excuse me – Entschuldigung
