"In the morning and in the afternoon?"

Translation: Ráno a odpoledne?

Is "in the" always implied before "morning", if one says "Rano"? How would one use it as a noun in itself, eg to say "Mornings are awful", or similar? Thanks

It depends on context a lot. Technically "rano a odpoledne" could mean "a morning and an afternoon" but it really never occurred to me till you asked. It kind of defaults to an adverb.

Mornings are awful = Rána jsou hrozná.

for one bad morning it would be Ráno je hrozné.

How about “V raně a v odpoledne”?

[endless_sleeper]

Nope. :/

But why explicitly use the English?
"In the morning and in the afternoon?" Why not, "Morning or afternoon?" This section is for greetings, so it's generally sort of weird. :-)

Did you mean "Morning and afternoon" ?

[RavinDave]

I was hoping: "Dopoledne a odpoledne."

[MilaOurednik]

"Dopoledne" is used for 10-12am.

[ALLintolearning3]

Is that not considered to be part of the morning?
I know that "Rána" was mentioned to be used up until 9am, but in English "morning" is anything before noon.

I had the multiple choice and they put "víkend" between "Dopoledne" and "odpoledne", so I knew that couldn't be right.

• ráno - I would say it´s time until 10am
• dopoledne - time until noon (preposition "do" "poledne")
• poledne - noon
• odpoledne - time after noon (preposition "od" "poledne")
