So, it is correct to say "Good Afternoon" when starting a meeting on 16:00 (or 4:00 PM). And, it is still ok also if we say "Good Evening" at that time.
It would be good morning because once it hits 12:00 AM, it is the next day. Therefore, 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM is morning.
Good Morning / Good Afternoon / Good EveningFor example, “Good morning†is generally used from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. whereas “Good afternoon†time is from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. “Good evening†is often used after 6 p.m. or when the sun goes down.

7 Answers. Both "Good afternoon" and "Good evening" are perfectly appropriate greetings at 6pm. Pick one, and don't overanalyze it. If you say "Good evening" at 4pm, or "Good afternoon" at 8pm, you might get funny looks, but near the boundary, either is fine.

They simply mean 12 o'clock during the day or night. Afternoon means strictly after 12pm, ending in the evening when it starts getting dark. In conclusion, it is technically still correct to say good morning after 12pm, as long as the sun has not yet reached its zennith.
12:00 p.m. is noon. 12:01 p.m. – 5:59 p.m. is afternoon. 6:00 p.m.- 11:59 p.m. is evening.
Five o'clock is afternoon. Evening starts at 6.
A: "Half after five o'clock" is the traditional wording, but if you feel that sounds too formal, you can certainly use "five-thirty in the afternoon" or "in the evening." Also, "afternoon" is fine, for the reasons you've given, even though five-thirty is technically evening.
'Noon' means 'midday' or 12 o'clock during the day. When using a 12-hour clock, 12 pm typically refers to noon and 12 am means midnight. While most people follow this convention, technically this isn't quite right. To avoid any confusion, 12 o'clock should be written as 12 noon or 12 midnight instead.
The afternoon is the time of day that starts mid-day and ends in the evening. If you have an afternoon appointment, it's probably some time between 12:00 and 5:00 p.m. It's pretty much agreed that the afternoon begins after noon, or 12:00 p.m., but when the afternoon ends and evening begins is a bit more vague.
