"Late night" in English means a late time of night or late evening.
It can refer to:
1. A period of time: The deep hours of the night, usually after midnight or very late in the evening (e.g., after 10-11 PM until the early morning).
* Example: "I had a late night working on my project."
2. A type of television program (Late-night show): In the USA and some other countries, "late-night" is often associated with talk shows that air late in the evening after the nightly news. These shows typically include monologues, celebrity interviews, and comedy sketches.
* Example: "He was a guest on a popular late-night talk show."
3. A feeling or atmosphere: Something that occurs or is characteristic of a late hour, often with a nuance of calm, pensiveness, solitude, or, conversely, lively activity (parties).
* Example: "We had a late night discussion about philosophy."
Thus, depending on the context, "late night" can simply be an indication of the time of day or a reference to a specific cultural phenomenon.
