Valtiel:

Good Evening, or Good Night???

As a greeting (“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen…”)? Or as parting words (“Good night, see you in the morning”)?* I’m not sure there is s succinct way to do so in any case, but I shall make my best guesses below, by prefixing appropriate phrases with generic “hello”'s and “good-bye”'s:

[Greeting]
Good evening
[Speaking to one person]
Salve, bonam vesperam tibi exopto
[Speaking to more than one person]
Salvete, bonam vesperam vobis exopto

Good night
[Speaking to one person]
Salve, bonam noctem tibi exopto
[Speaking to more than one person]
Salvete, bonam noctem vobis exopto
(literally: Hello, I wish you a good evening/night)

[Parting]
Good evening
[Speaking to one person]
Vale, bonam vesperam tibi exopto
[Speaking to more than one person]
Valete, bonam vesperam vobis exopto

Good night
[Speaking to one person]
Vale, bonam noctem tibi exopto
[Speaking to more than one person]
Valete, bonam noctem vobis exopto
(literally: Good-bye, I wish you a good evening/night)

(* Maybe you can use just the “Bonam…exopto” parts, and rely on context to provide the meaning – Are you entering or leaving the room – But I’m not sure)
