I love when people shorten “good night” or “good morning” to just “night” or “morning” cause you’re literally just telling the other person what time of day it is and this is seen as an acceptable greeting/goodbye

In German, we are using that circumlocution as a general term for ‘greeting’: “sich die Tageszeit sagen” = ‘tell each other the time of day’

Berlin version:
‘moin moin’
‘juten hunger’
‘n'abend’

In Brazil we just shorten it to “good”, but it only works in the afternoon and/or night :D
