"body": "**Buenos días** is literally \"good days\" — Spanish greets you with a plural where English uses a singular.\n\nBoth halves have to agree with each other, so the greeting changes shape with the time of day it belongs to:\n\n- *buenos* días — masculine, and so is *días*\n- *buenas* tardes — feminine, and so is *tardes*\n\nSay it to anyone, at any distance. Unlike \u003Cu\u003Ehola\u003C/u\u003E, it is never too familiar for a stranger, a shopkeeper or a teacher."

"title": "Morning, afternoon, evening",
"lesson": 2,
"body": "Spanish splits the day into three greetings, and the boundaries are not the ones English draws.\n\n1. **Buenos días** — from waking until the midday meal, which in Spain can be as late as three in the afternoon.\n2. **Buenas tardes** — from that meal until dark.\n3. **Buenas noches** — after dark. This one both greets and says goodbye, so it is also what you say on the way out.\n\n## When you are not sure\n\n*Hola* carries no time of day at all, and is never wrong. Reach for it whenever the hour is ambiguous."
