"tanghali" and "hapon"?

[Rico Suave]

What is the difference between "tanghali" and "hapon"?

I can only remember that both terms mean "afternoon". Doesn't one
mean "early afternoon" and the other "late afternoon"? If so,
which one is which? Also, I'd like to know if there are any exceptions
to the usage of these two words if there are any.

Pardon my ignorance since I haven't been in the Philippines
since 1976 and I'm still re-learning the language.

salamat,
-Naz

My understanding is...

"tanghali" - High Noon or 12:00pm

"hapon" - span of day somewhat between 12:01pm to about 6pm or so.
(I use 6pm because that's about when "takipsilim" or twilight
sorta happens in the Philippines.)

"hapon" - A japanese fellow? (just kidding).

I believe "tanghali" means like day (even though day is 'araw'),
but if you say "magandang tanghali", it means 'good day'.

and

"hapon" means afternoon.

I may be wrong, My fiancee is from P.I. so I am tring to
learn Tagalog. I'm not an expert....YET!!!, but knowing spanish
helps.

i always thought that "tanghali" means "noon" or "not early morning
anymore", as in "bumangon ka na! aba'y tanghali na!".

in the above sentence, "tanghali" connotes "lateness of the day".

you are right, though, when you say that "hapon" means "afternoon".
"hapon" comes after "tanghali".

Carolyn,

Thanks for the explaination. Guess I'm still learning.
Not sure what "bumangon ka na!........" means, but I will take
a guess: to get up at noon (or not early morning).

At least I got that right. It also means "Japan".

Maraming salamat,

Willie

"Tanghali" means "noon", or "late". We usually refer to lunch or
lunch time as "Tanghalian". "Nananghalian ka na ba?" translates to "Have
you had lunch?"

In the sense of lateness, "Tanghali na naman ako" (I'm late
again) and "Tanghali na! Bakit ngayon ka lang?" (You're late - why have
you [arrived] only now?" are good examples.

"Hapon" (with the long accent on Ha - if you pronounce both
syllables quickly, it means "Japanese" or their language, Nippongo) means
p.m., or generally, afternoon. However, it is not usually used to indicate
lateness. A notable point: "Hapunan" is not your afternoon snack, but
rather dinner/supper [one of those subtle ones again].

"Tanghali" or "Tanghaling-tapat" is used to denote exactly 12:00 noon.
Tanghaling tapat is when the sun is exactly on the northern side of the
earth where no shadow is apparent on the sundial. When one says
"tanghalian" this means "lunch" which is usually taken
at 12:00 noon. After 12:00 such as 12:01 it's already afternoon or "hapon" or
"pa-hapon" na. The word "tanghali" is also used to denote being "late" as
in "kilos na, tanghali na" meaning "move on, it's already late."
Hope this helps.
