Do you like slightly cold weather or warm weather?
Slightly cold will be a nice change. But I'm in a 23 Deg C room right now and my dumb nose is already like watering. LOL. How y'all sit in the cold with perfect noses? XD
I'd say slightly warm but if it's extremes, then definitely cold. You can put on loads of layers but there's only so many layers you can take off.
Bonjour is a French greeting used for the daytime as well as evening.
So what is Bonsoir?
It’s “good evening”
Ah. And Bonjour can be used for any time of day, right?
Yeah, I think so! It’s the polite way to say hello. “Salut” is a more informal (I think?) way of saying hello or goodbye.
Salut is a bit more tricky because it has several meanings to it. As an adverb, it means hello. As a noun, it means safety; salute. As a noun as well if salut is followed by militaire, then it becomes a military salute.

Yes. "Bonjour" means "good day" but a French "jour" can mean either the daytime or the entire 24 hour cycle, just like the English "day". This carries over to the expression, meaning that you can wish someone to have a good day no matter the time of day, and it also serves as a greeting. "Bonsoir" means "good evening" and is specifically for evenings or nights, although if someone is going to bed or leaving late, we could say "bonne nuit", which is specifically "goodnight". There is also "bon matin" which means "good morning", and "bon après-midi", which means "good afternoon".

Yeah, I think so. Since it means "good day", I don't see why not. It's like "konichiwa" in Japanese, it doesn't mean hello (that would basically be "moshi moshi" which is what you say when you pick up the phone), it actually means "good afternoon", but because it's spoken alllll the time it just basically means "hello" now.
I was going to potentially say something more, but uhh I might've mentioned it to Frenchy and he can clearly explain French better then I can (native speaker vs. just a beginner)

Bacon is overrated, but I also can't really eat it so
Waffles, Burger King, Culver's...I'm sure there's others, I just can't think of them right now
