Notes
GENERAL INFO
Nuit is a feminine noun meaning "night."
USAGE
It refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise. Common phrases include "bonne nuit" (good night), "pendant la nuit" (during the night), and "passer la nuit" (to spend the night).
TRAPS
Do not confuse nuit with "soir" (evening). "Soir" refers to the earlier part of the evening, whereas nuit specifically denotes the dark hours of actual night.
