In everyday conversation, 半夜 (bànyè) is commonly used to refer to midnight or the middle of the night. It is often used to describe a time when people are usually asleep. For example, when we describe a time when something unexpected or unusual happens, we can say 半夜里突然有人敲门 (bànyè lǐ tūrán yǒurén qiāo mén, "someone suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night").

The term "半夜" (bànyè) refers to midnight or the middle of the night, typically indicating a time when most people are asleep. While it is commonly used in various contexts, there are situations where it may not be appropriate to use:
1. In formal writing or speeches, using "半夜" (bànyè) might be considered too casual. Instead, one might opt for "午夜" (wǔyè), which also means midnight but carries a more formal tone.
2. When referring to times that are not exactly midnight but rather late evening or early morning, using "半夜" (bànyè) might be misleading. For instance, saying "晚上十点" (wǎnshàng shí diǎn) for 10 PM is more accurate than using "半夜" (bànyè).
