Nigerian are found of asking the question ‘How was your night’ every morning immediately after the usual morning greeting.
‘Good morning’ and ‘How was your Night’?
And many people do not know that this is wrong to ask unless in some certain conditions.
Reason why it’s wrong:
For Native Speakers, asking them ‘How was their Night’ Is like you are asking about their last night sex, which is none of your business. Therefore the Phrase is wrong to be used for ordinary person(s) or your Colleagues in office.
it can connote unwelcome and invasive curiosity about someone’s intimateprivatemomentsthepreviousnight. In other words, it has sexualundertones.
Some Circumstances where it can be acceptable
It be a legitimate question to ask someone you are very close to who had, for instance, returned from a long trip the previous night, or who had been battling insomnia or other kinds of illnesses, that justifies wanting to know how their night was.
