Quoting bod: Would iyi geceler also be appropriate? |

The books I have say that iyi akşamlar can be used as both a greeting and farewell anytime from about 6pm onwards. iyi geceler is used only as a farewell and is generally used a little later. I don't think that it is only used when going to bed.
Of course only native Turks can tell us how these are really used!

So, what should we do, when we see a friend at night?

According to the book, use one of these:
iyi akşamlar
merhaba
selam
Is iyi geceler used as a greeting as well?
