"Dobrý večer" ("good evening") is used as a greeting during the evening and night parts of the day. "Dobrou noc" ("good night") is used as a wish before going to sleep, so no, these are not interchangeable.

No. "Good night" means "dobrou noc". We only say that before we go to sleep. It does not mean "dobrý večer", you wouldn't even use "dobrou noc" to say hi to someone during night hours.

Interesting, I only took one beginner class in Slovenian, but it looks very similar except with different pronunciation.

The basics are pretty similar to Slovenian, as far as I can tell. We say "Dober večer" for "Good evening" and "Lahko noč" for "Good night" with the litteral translation being "Easy night". Might I ask where did you take a beginner class in Slovenian?

Yes, it was at the Slovenian embassy sponsoring Cleveland State University's visiting professor to promote their online program: http://onlineslovenian.com/

It's SO nice to be learning a Slavic language again.... Now I can for the most part understand what's going on in the sentence without first having to check the hints :D Why didn't this sudden urge to learn Czech come to me earlier....

Would this be in the context if someone was asking how your evening was or saying good evening to you? This sounds really weird.

i can see it, someone greeted me while holding the door open for me, and i return the greeting and show some gratitude while walking through.

Ok, so the Good Day/Evening/Night are similar to the Russian counterparts, right?

From what I've learned until now, I think so; they even sound similar
