Greeting in Bahasa Indonesia

Daftar ekspresi salam dalam bahasa Indonesia
( list of greeting expressions in Indonesian)

1. Selamat pagi = good morning
2. selamat siang = good afternoon
3. selamat malam = good evening

The expression "good night" is a little bit different , so in bahasa indonesia we say 'selamat tidur' and we just say it before sleep not when we part in the evening or end a meeting. we say 'selamat malam' to open and to end a meeting or when we greet someone in the evening.
