Hallo Shawna! in Italy we say:
good night=Buona notte
good morning=Buongiorno (also if literally is "Buon mattino"!)

....and good evening to all of you!

(good evening= buona sera!)

I 'd like to ask "danutza", member of this forum, to allow me to do a correction.
"danutsa" wrote earlier:

Quote:

- in greek: Good night = "Καλησπέρα!"(Kalispera!); Good morning = "Καλημέρα!" (Kalimera!)

"καλησπέρα" = "good evening"
"good night" in greek is "καληνύκτα" (kalinikta).

And here is the entry for the term "night" in Online Etymology Dictionary
O.E. niht (W.Saxon neaht, Anglian næht, neht), from P.Gmc. *nakht- (cf. O.H.G. naht, O.Fris., Du., Ger. nacht, O.N. natt, Goth. nahts), from PIE *nok(w)t- (cf. Gk. nuks "a night," L. nox, O.Ir. nochd, Skt. naktam "at night," Lith. naktis "night," O.C.S. nosti, Rus. noch', Welsh henoid "tonight").

Don't you find it interesting that in a lot of languages the word for "night" seems to come from a single unknown root?
