#138 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary

▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Xayrli kech! Ishlariz qaley bo’lyapti?

❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Good night! How is it going on?

✅ Well, it should be:
Good evening! How is it going?

❓Why?

❗️ Good night is a way of saying goodbye, not hello.

❗️ Go on is a phrasal verb and means continue. Asking how something is going on is strange in this greeting situation.
