Buenas Tardes - Good Evening
Good Evening - Good Evening
Geneva is a city with an international reputation and Place du Molard clearly wants people to feel at home. Snuggled among the charcoal cobbles, glowing squares say hello in languages from around the world.
At least I assume that’s what they mean. I couldn’t translate them all…

It’s also quite cool to look up and see other people wandering around the square staring at the floor, playing the same game!
Thanks also for Monna’s note about Buenas Tardes – saying it translates as Good Afternoon rather than Good Evening. I’ve polled my Spanish friends, who say it can mean either!
Good “some time after lunch but before we go to bed” to you all!
Cool!
When we were in Melk, Austria we interviewed an artist who was doing a someone related project with tiles among the cobblestones that were in Morse code poem that could be seen from Google earth.
This is so cool! I know several different ways of saying hello but it would be neat to see it all over the ground like this. I agree that it would be funny to see everyone walking around staring at the floor :)
Wow – that project in Melk sounds interesting. Perhaps we should start a list here of all the ways we know how to say hello…
Very nice way to receive a warm welcome…
In the Netherlands we say : Goede avond :) (good evening)
Ta very much (thanks in English slang ;) )
