Pronunciation

  • IPA: /piːˈɛm/

Adverb

p.m.

  1. after noon (used after a time to indicate it is between noon and midnight, i.e., in the afternoon, evening or night as opposed to the morning)

Usage notes

  • Some argue that it should not be used in English as a noun meaning "afternoon" on account of the fact that it is an abbreviation for a Latin adverbial phrase. Also, it is incorrect to use 12 a.m. or 12 p.m. to mean either noon or midnight, respectively.
