buenas tardes
good afternoon, good evening
Pronunciation
/ˈbwe.nas ˈtaɾ.ðes/
Cultural Note
In Spain, 'buenas tardes' typically starts after lunch (around 2 PM) and extends well into the evening, roughly until 8-9 PM. This is much later than the English 'good afternoon.' The switch to 'buenas noches' happens later in Spain due to the later dinner schedule.
