When do you say 'how was your night?'

How was your night?

When do you use this expression?☝🏿

The aforementioned expression is not wrong at all. It is obtainable in all English dialects, but the truth is, they have various contextual meanings in these dialects.

Native English speakers can ask these following questions
a. How was your day
b. How was your weekend
c. How was your evening
d. How did your Christmas go?
Etc.
When someone asks you these questions, he expects you tell him the activities that happened during the period mentioned.

In the same vein, when a native English speaker asks ' how was your night?' . He obviously knows  you didn't sleep at all and he isn't asking if you had a good night rest.

Maybe you went to club at night or a night party or vigil or you work at night. People can enquire about your night.

Maybe you are a student, and you read all through the night, I can ask you.

Dear, how was your night?

You can reply ..'I spent it burning the midnight candle".

So, if you spent the rest of the night having sex, in the morning, your partner might ask you 'how was your night?' .

Well, you can say 'splendid' or you can still say 'disaster'.

In some places, the expression has come to connote 'how was your night's sex?' according to an article I read by Nigerian staying in the US.

The point is, if you want to find out about how someone slept, just ask.

i Hope you slept well?
Did you sleep well?
Hope you had a good night rest

When you ask 'how was your night' you are just saying this

'Hey, I know you didnt sleep at night. Do you mind telling me what you are doing all through the night? Were you having sex? Were you partying? Were you 'Facebooking'? Lol'

Finally, In Nigerian English, the expression simply means 'hope you slept well?"

When you say 'I spent the night with someone' it means you had sex with someone.

This is a euphemistic way of saying it.

Very popular and well respected dictionaries like Oxford, Cambridge and Longman only have only one meaning for the expression; while Macmillian has two meanings for it. The second meaning is 'to socialise'

It'd be nicer to say 'I spent the night at someone's.

I spent the night with my dad, mum, wife, cousin, best friend come across as meaning ' you had sex with them'.
So , just know the correct expression and use it often.
