good morning

Sunrise verbal acknowledgment

Good morning is a greeting used in the early part of the day, roughly from dawn until noon.

It functions as a salutation when meeting someone or as a farewell when parting: Good morning, how did you sleep?

The phrase can also express mild surprise at someone's late arrival or slow comprehension: Well, good morning! We've been waiting an hour.
