Good Evening in Morse Code
--. --- --- -.. / . ...- . -. .. -. --.
"Good evening" is the warm, slightly formal greeting for later in the day, and in Morse it's --. --- --- -.. / . ...- . -. .. -. --. . It shares the dash-heavy "good" with its morning and night siblings, then adds "evening," a word sprinkled with single-dot E's. It's a graceful medium-length phrase that's as pleasant to send by lamplight as the time of day it names.

After the familiar "good" (--. --- --- -..), "evening" opens on a single-dot E, moves through V, then another E, and continues N, I, N, G. The early back-to-back E-and-V and the scattered single dots give "evening" a lighter, more delicate rhythm than the heavy "good" that precedes it — a nice contrast within one phrase.
