Good Evening In Bahasa Indonesia
Good evening in Bahasa Indonesia is [selamat malam]. [Selamat malam] is spoken in the nighttime. In English, there are good evenings and good nights. In bahasa Indonesia, there is only one, that is [selamat malam].[Selamat] can mean safe or congratulations. And [malam] means night. And if we translate word for word, it can mean a safe night or to congratulate the night. It sounds weird, but that's if you translate it word for word.
