Greetings in Andorra: Catalan Phrases for Every Time of Day

Andorra’s official language is Catalan. Greetings follow the time-of-day pattern typical of Catalan-speaking areas:

• Bon dia — Good morning (until ~1 PM).
• Bona tarda — Good afternoon/evening (1 PM – sunset).
• Bona nit — Good night (after dark / farewell).
• Hola — Neutral "hi" (any time, informal).
• Adéu — Goodbye.

Pronunciation Tips

• Bon dia → [bɔn ˈdi.a]
• Bona tarda → [ˈbɔnə ˈtaɾðə] (Valencian/Andorran: final -a pronounced).
• Bona nit → [ˈbɔnə ˈnit]

Cultural Note

Andorrans switch fluidly to Spanish (Castilian), French, or Portuguese with visitors. A friendly Bon dia in Catalan is always appreciated.
