    But how about "Not morning, but afternoon?"

      yes, there has to be a word instead of but, possibly the word instead.

        I thought it would be "It is not the morning, but the afternoon." Does that work? If not, how would you say that?

          That would be "Nem reggel van, hanem délután."

              With these I get confused, would "Not in the morning, but rather in the afternoon" be correct?

                  Reggel can mean 'in the morning' or 'morning' based on context

                    Do delben and delutan have the same meaning?

                    dél = noon
                    után = after
                    -ben (or -ban) = in or at
                    délután = afternoon
                    délben = at noon

                        So delutanben just becomes very long for 'in the afternoon'?

                          I am hearing a syallable after "nem" but before "reggel". Sort of like "Nem in em reggel". Whaaa?

                            It's Hungarian rolled R. It's prominent here because of the transition from the "m" in "nem"
