| | I changed "good evening" to "have a good evening", as "good evening" is a greeting in English.
Also, "I" must always be capitalized in English. |

| | I doubt if it was really good evening,
I think it should be good night.
And I translate as good night in Chinese. |

| | I don't think so, little rain - that would be "buona notte" in Italian, but here it says "buona serata". I don't think the writer is saying good-bye - I think the writer is hoping that the recipient has a good evening.
Xini, can you help us out here?

Evening starts at 19.00 or so in Italy.
Non vedo l'ora is usually translated as "I look forward to..."

| | Xini, please see what I wrote above at 27 October 2007 20:26 - "good evening" is a greeting, which I believe is impossible here.
As for the difference between "I can't wait" and "I look forward", they really have the same meaning, but the first one is a bit stronger. Is that OK here? |
