me again *muf gives deep sigh*

południe = noon, midday, south (as far as i know)

po południu = in the afternoon (as far as i know)

do you have a polish word for afternoon(s) as a noun, na przykład

I have polish lessons some afternoons, so I'm not sure whether I'll be able to go see the movie. (I must first find out what my timetable would be for next week.)

same for morning(s) and evenings?

evening = wieczór / wieczory ?

You can always say: popołudniami mam lekcje polskiego. It sounds naturally

i understand that - this is not the question though

i want to know if there are nouns for morning(s), afternoon(s) just like there is for evening(s) = wieczór / wieczory (if i'm not mistaken)

In my dictionary it says afternoon is popoułdnie ,and morning is rano.
I'm not sure what you are looking for though :)

Mam lekcje polskiego w niektóre popołudnia.
afternoons = popołudnia
I am not 100% sure though.

yeah, RJ_cdn is right: afternoons = popołudnia, evenings = wieczory, mornings = poranki. I'm a Polish native speaker and in my opinion it sounds ok

po południo = in the afternoon (as far as i know)

In the afternoon is po południu there is no południo.
In the morning is rano or rankiem.
During the evening is wieczorem.

Czasem mam lekcje po południu sounds to me better.

rano - morning (no plural)
(po)ranek/(po)ranki - morning/mornings

południe/południa - noon/noons

popołudnie/popołudnia - afternoon/afternoons

wieczor/wieczory - evening/evenings

noc/noce - night/nights

północ/północe - midnight/midnights

świt/świty - dawn/dawns
brzask/brzaski - dawn/dawns

zmierzch/zmierzchy - dusk/dusks
zachód/zachody - sunset/ sunsets

In the afternoon is po południu there is no południo.

True, but there is południe, i.e. noon.
Hence, w połuddnie - at noon

południe, i.e. noon.

also the South

Mam lekcje polskiego w niektóre popołudnia.

floppy ears: this is the exact translation and the most formal, if you will. on the street you will hear the other versions most likely though.

Yes, there is w południe, meaning, as you say, at noon, but she was asking about afternoons so I left it out.
