Question about Japanese
Is it common to say 「こんにちは」 in the morning or at night? I learned it's used to say "good afternoon", but some natives say it's used to say "hi"?

いつでも使えます
しかし、朝は[おはよう]が一般的です 朝5時〜10、11時くらい
夜や夕方は[こんばんは]も使えます
[こんばんは]と[こんにちは]どちらも一般的です
Hiにあたる言葉[やあ]などはカジュアルな言葉です、[こんにちは]と同じくいつでも使えます
[こんにちは]は朝でも夕方や夜でもない時間帯に一番よく使う気がします

Geralmente 「おはよう(ございます)」 pela manhã e 「こんばんは」 à noite, mas se for antes do meio-dia ou à noite (das 10:00 às 17:00), 「こんにちは」pode ser usado.
Entre amigos, você pode dizer “hi”(olá) a qualquer hora do dia.
Normally, we say「おはよう」in the morning and 「こんばんは」at night, but if it is before noon or in the evening (around 10:00 to 17:00), 「こんにちは」 can be used.
Among friends, you can say "Hi," 「やあ」「はーい」no matter what time of day it is.

正確な時間は存在しないけど、基本的には10:00〜18:00までがこんにちはを言う。
でも、"こんにちは"は何時でも使える。夜の11:00でも"こんにちは"と言ってもいい。人による
