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.

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"

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

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?

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 🤞

Teenagers use the NIV version of the Bible.

1. Good morning – Guten Morgen – Guete morge
2. Good afternoon – Guten Nachmittag – Guete Nami
3. Good evening – Guten Abend – Schöne Abe
4. How are you – Wie geht es dir? – Wie geits dir?
5. Excuse me – Entschuldigung – Exgüse
6. Welcome – Willkommen – Wiukomme
7. Thanks – Danke – Merci
8. I love you – Ich liebe Dich – I liebe di
9. I miss you – Ich vermisse Dich – I vermisse di

Who knows what language this is?

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

Sounds like German

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'.

5. Excuse me – Entschuldigung
