Greetings throughout the day[]
As in English, Dutch has many different ways of greeting others. Hallo is always allowed, but if you want to be more formal, then you will need to know the time of day it is:
Time of the Day | Dutch Greeting |
---|---|
Morning | Goedemorgen |
Afternoon | Goedendag / goedemiddag |
Evening | Goedenavond |
Night | Goedenacht |
