When you greet someone in Chinese, you can add the time of day to say "Good morning," "Good afternoon," or "Good evening."

Here is how you can use these words when speaking:

• Student: 早上好! (Zǎoshang hǎo!) — Good morning!

• Teacher: 早上好! (Zǎoshang hǎo!) — Good morning!

• Student: 下午好! (Xiàwǰ hǎo!) — Good afternoon!

• Friend: 下午好! (Xiàwǰ hǎo!) — Good afternoon!

• Student: 晚上好! (Wǎnshang hǎo!) — Good evening!

• Parent: 晚上好! (Wǎnshang hǎo!) — Good evening!

• Zǎoshang (早上) — The sound "zao" sounds like "saa" in the morning. This means morning.
• Xiàwǰ (下午) — The sound "xia" means "down" and "wu" means "noon." After noon is afternoon.
• Wǎnshang (晚上) — The sound "wan" is like evening, and "shang" means "on/at." Evening time.

Copy these words in your exercise book:

• Use 早上好 (Zǎoshang hǎo) when you meet someone in the morning.
• Use 下午好 (Xiàwǰ hǎo) when you meet someone in the afternoon.
• Use 晚上好 (Wǎnshang hǎo) when you meet someone in the evening.

In Tanzania, you can use these Chinese greetings when you meet Chinese tourists visiting places like Serengeti, Zanzibar, or Mount Kilimanjaro. If a Chinese visitor says "早上好!" to you at your village shop in the morning, you can reply "早上好!" to welcome them warmly.
