What is the difference between Bonne nuit and Bonsoir ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- French (France)
"Bonsoir" is "good evening". We use it as a greeting OR to say goodbye in two cases:
- it's not time to go to bed yet;
- we are not close enough to the person to say "bonne nuit".
"Bonne nuit" is less formal, it means "good night" and is used when it's evening OR when it's time to go to bed.
Hope it's clear :)

Bonsoir -> When you meet someone at ~18:00+
(Even if, when leaving someone, it is better to say "bonne soirée")
Bonne nuit -> When you or the person you are speaking to is going to sleep;
