As a part of closing speech in the evening.
Sekian pidato saya pada malam ini. Selamat malam. Salam.
"Sore" is indicated to mean "afternoon/evening" and "malam" is indicated to mean "evening/night". So why is sore wrong, if there is no further context? And from which point in time do you use one, or the other?
You should use "sore" until sunset, and "malam" after sunset and in the night :) a
duolingo is SO inconsistent about time of day terms, they really need to improve in that regard
Except for the fact that the course initially taught THAT as "greetings"...
Assalammualaikum is especially for muslim, not indonesian. Because mostly people indonesia is muslim so they say assalammualaikum
Yes, but since this is an Indonesian lesson, not a Muslim lesson, I really wish they would leave out the Muslim greetings.
If you're going to be in Indonesia, you're pretty much bound to be greeted and talk to in Muslim phrases, so it's good that the course includes such heavily used phrases.
Isn't Salam just short? So if the answer is supposed to be Salam and we're doing wassalamu'alaikum In this lesson too then it should accept that

Hello, salam and assalamualaikum is not the same. But it is used interchangeably in indo
This is a bad item. Confusing and not terribly useful to combine the greetings.
Isnt good evening mean selamat malam..why here i was marked wrong..selamat sore is greetings in late afternoon and not evening..evening is after sunset for Indonesians..that was my understanding
Living in Bali many years...Dawn and up to the time it gets hot =Pagi. ... Hot part of the day,Sun overhead =Siang ...Starts to to cool down, time for mandi and socialising= Sore...Sun has set, now dark=Malam. ... Very early in the morning, still dark= Pagi-pagi
The answer is wrong, evening is 'sore/petang' , night is 'malam'. I'm not indonesian, I'm malaysian but i know that the answer of this question is totally wrong. I hope they fix the answer (-_-;)・・・
No, Indonesian breaks the day up differently. English: morning till 12pm; afternoon till about dusk, evening after dusk. Indonesian: pagi - morning till about 10 or 11; siang - late morning till about 3; sore - late afternoon till about dusk; malam - after dusk (= evening, night.) So siang and sore don't conveniently translate into a single English word.
oh my, im a native speaker and we don't say that. who wants to say "good evening, greetings" tho??? if you want to say "selamat malam" than just leave the "salam". Half of the indonesian lessons are wrong
I suggest you get in touch with some of the people who are working on this course. This comment section wouldn't do much for you.
Selamat siang from 11am - 3pm. Selamat sore from 3pm - 6pm. Selamat malam from 6pm - midnight. Selamat pagi from midnight - 11am.
Should I use 'salam'? Is't Indonesian using 'pagi, siang , sore' or 'malam'?
That is wrong. Selamat sore = good afternoon (jam 3 pm to jam 6 pm, when starts the evening (malam)).
Assalamualaikum only used by Muslims, not all Indonesians use this word, so if you are not a Muslim, you don't need to say the word..
Every single Duolingo lesson for the last 93 days "sore" was "afternoon" not "evening". ❤❤❤
It's just something different about Indonesian to get your head around. Indonesian breaks the day up differently to English. There is no straightforward equivalents to Morning and afternoon, because Indo breaks that up into 3 time periods - see my post above. It's not hard...
