What time of day do you stop saying „schön Tag noch „ and start saying „schön Abend noch“. Is 6pm too early ?How late can you use schön tag noch before it gets weird? I guess there is an overlap period?
6 pm is fine for “Schönen Abend”, but without “noch”, I guess, because it’s just starting. I usually say “schönen Nachmittag” when it’s past 3 pm and then switch to “Abend” at some point.
Interesting, so how necessary is the “noch” then with “Tag”. If i leave it out does it sound weird ?
It sounds less weird, because the day has usually been going on for a while when you interact with people.
I often replace it by “dir” or “euch”. So basically, it feels a bit “truncated” to me to just say “schönen Tag”, so I like to add something, but “noch” is not my first choice.
