"Bon après-midi"

Grammar note: This can also be written "bonne après-midi". This is because the word après-midi has the rare quality in the French language that it can equally be used as either masculine or feminine; both are common and correct. It doesn't usually matter for speech since the pronunciation remains the same for "bon après-midi"/"bonne après-midi", "cet après-midi"/"cette après-midi", etc.

(I don't know how this ambiguity over such a common word came to be, but if I had to guess, I would say it might have something to do with the masculine/feminine pairs of the parts of the day such as matin/matinée, jour/journée, nuit/nuitée, etc. and "après-midi-tée" would be just too bizarre, so people started simply using the word itself in the feminine. However if there was ever a distinction in meaning between the masculine and feminine forms of après-midi, that has disappeared.)

Bon après-midi, Monsieur is a French equivalent of 'Good afternoon, Sir'. The words in French are pronounced 'boh-nah-preh-mee-dee muh-syuh'.

In the word by word translation, the masculine adjective 'bon' means 'good'. The masculine gender noun 'après-midi' means 'after [the hour of] noon'. The masculine gender noun 'Monsieur' means 'gentleman, mister, sir'.
