I thought Good Evening would be buenas noches.

How to differentiate between 'good evening' and 'good afternoon'? As both translate to 'buenas tardes'.

Good evening is from 7 or 8pm. In Spanish we don't have a difference. Let's say that from 9 pm on we say buenas noches.

I was taught that buenas tardes is used until sunset and isn't necessarily defined by time. Thankfully the other options were way off

Good evening is buenas noches. I learned in school that Spanish-speaking countries consider noon-6 afternoon and 6pm and after evening/night, so there'd never be an overlap between afternoon and evening. Can anyone confirm?

As if native Spanish speakers need to speak more quickly, fierysmiley! I've been told Spanish is generally spoken faster than any other language, and I believe it listening to Spanish speakers near where I am in NJ (US). :-)

This does not mean good evening.

Why not buenas noches?

I was told in Spain that you say buenos notes after you have eaten dinner. In Spain it is difficult to eat dinner before 8 PM. Until you have eaten dinner, you say buenas trades. What I would like to know from a native Spanish speaker is if this role holds in other Spanish speaking countries. If not, what is the rule, and what country are you from?

Duolingo should really fix this, because Buenas Tardes MEANS good afternoon. When greeting someone and it is afternoon you would say Buenas Tardes. Tarde means late so it's later in the day, but not evening.

Why buenas, not buenos? Is buenos plural?
