me again muf gives deep sigh południe = noon, midday, south (as far as i know) po południu = in the afternoon (as far as i know) do you have a polish word for afternoon(s) as a noun, na przykład I have polish lessons some afternoons, so I'm not sure whether I'll be able to go see the movie. (I must first find out what my timetable would be for next week.) same for morning(s) and evenings? evening = wieczór / wieczory ?

You can always say: popołudniami mam lekcje polskiego. It sounds naturally

i understand that - this is not the question though i want to know if there are nouns for morning(s), afternoon(s) just like there is for evening(s) = wieczór / wieczory (if i'm not mistaken)

In my dictionary it says afternoon is popoułdnie ,and morning is rano. I'm not sure what you are looking for though :)

yeah, RJ_cdn is right: afternoons = popołudnia, evenings = wieczory, mornings = poranki. I'm a Polish native speaker and in my opinion it sounds ok

Mufasa wrote: po południo = in the afternoon (as far as i know) In the afternoon is po południu there is no południo. In the morning is rano or rankiem. During the evening is wieczorem. Czasem mam lekcje po południu sounds to me better.

True, but there is południe, i.e. noon. Hence, w połuddnie - at noon

z_darius wrote: południe, i.e. noon. also the South RJ_cdn wrote: Mam lekcje polskiego w niektóre popołudnia. floppy ears: this is the exact translation and the most formal, if you will. on the street you will hear the other versions most likely though.

z_darius wrote: Hence, w połuddnie - at noon Yes, there is w południe, meaning, as you say, at noon, but she was asking about afternoons so I left it out.
